The Chamber works with members of Congress and the leaders of a number of national agencies and associations to provide a voice for small business in designing America's energy policies.
"Maurice Stone, NBCC Energy Committee Chairman, and I have been meeting with various associations and organizations in Washington, DC discussing the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 H.R. 2454, commonly referred to as the Waxman/Markey or Climate Change Bill, and its effects on "Green Jobs" and the economy," said Harry Alford, President and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of the Regulatory Committee of the US Chamber of Commerce. "We expect a lot of debate in the House and very robust debate in the senate regarding this important bill."
The National Black Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to economically empowering and sustaining African American communities through entrepreneurship and capitalistic activity within the United States. The Chamber reaches more than 100,000 Black owned businesses nationwide and provides an advocacy that reaches 1 million Black owned businesses. African Americans have over $800 billion in expendable income each year according to the US Bureau of Census.
