The Black Chamber of Commerce - Summit County (BCCSC) is a nonprofit organization that drives economic growth and empowerment for Black-owned businesses in our local community. Founded by business leaders and community change agents Robert DeJournett and Misty E. Beasley, the BCCSC leverages their combined 30+ years of expertise in minority business development and DEI initiatives. ​

​

The BCCSC was formed in response to the pressing need to bridge economic disparities and foster success for Black-owned businesses. With the support of our  Founding Donors and a coalition of individuals, business owners, stakeholders, and leaders, we serve as a trusted advocate and conduit for the Black community. Our goal is to provide impactful solutions, resources, advocacy, and support to enhance the economic status and resilience of Black-owned businesses, ultimately  empowering them to thrive. The BCCSC is dedicated to bridging the racial wealth gap through community building.
