"The Pacific Northwest Chapter National Black Chamber of Commerce is dedicated and committed to the economic empowerment and enhancement of African American communities through the development and strengthening of African American business," he said. “The combined efforts of our two organizations will enhance opportunities for African-American businessmen and women.” The signing will take place at the Ramada Inn Governors House, 621 South Capitol Way, in Olympia as part of the PNCNBCC African American and Communities of Color Legislative Day Reception from 6 - 9:30 p.m. For more information on this event call the PNCNBCC office in Tacoma at (253) 473-0515.
