President's Message from the Award Winning Silicon Valley Black Chamber
Education 1 of the Big 3 E's
As many of you know, I've been chamber president for a little over 2 and a half years now and we've grown and been blessed tremendously. Much of our growth has come from our vision and desire to help create a "robust economically empowered African American community". What does that mean? It means a community with options.
3E's as options are: 1) Option to become an Entrepreneur (that's our sweet spot) 2) Option to be gainfully Employed (we help people get jobs) 3) Option for good Education (must have this)
This article is about option #3 Education.
Today we're in the process of producing the Silicon Valley Black Youth hack-a-thon with partners like the United Negro College Fund and Black Enterprise to name a few, where young black minds get an opportunity to be the designer of games and apps, instead of just being a consumer of them.

Our ASK is that we need YOU (your time, your talent, your resources (connections, relationships, influence, etc.)
