Hosted By

eAccess Corp. is the producing sponsor of National Black Business Month and publisher of Walls Come Tumbling Down: State of Black Business, sixth ediiton. John William Templeton, president/executive editor, is co-founder of National Black Business Month. Frederick E. Jordan, P.E., president of the San Francisco African-American Chamber of Commerce,is also a co-founder of National Black Business Month.
From $5 billion to farmers market, superlative firms transforming their industries
While the biggest investment houses in the world crashed in 2008, Progress Investment Management Co. instead sought to be “the brand of the future — to continue to redefine the field of competition in the 21st century.”
Under President Thurman White, Progress became 100 percent employee-owned and launched a new Emerging Manager Research Award with the Journal of Investment.
On Wednesday, Aug. 26, Progress is being honored as one of San
Francisco’s superlative black businesses during the Founders Reception
for the sixth annual National Black Business Month at Gussie’s Chicken and Waffles, 1521 Eddy St.
On Wednesday, superlative firms in the city’s major industries are
being recognized by the founders and the San Francisco African-American
Chamber in fields such as finance, technology, airport concessions,
franchises, retail, personal care and tourism. California Public
Utilities Commissioner Timothy Simon, one of the 50 Most Important
African-Americans in Technology, will emcee the reception. There will
be a book signing for Templeton’s latest report, Walls Come Tumbling Down: State of Black Business, sixth edition.
DIGITAL SOUVENIR BOOKLET
Thanks to the pace of preregistration, we will close the ticketing process 48 hours before the Founders Reception on Wednesday, Aug. 26. That means the networking will be enhanced because everyone will have a name badge. We'll also be able to avoid the feeling of not having enough hands to juggle a booklet and an plate and fork by transmitting the highly valuable souvenir booklet to each registrant electronically. Not only will it include the profiles of the superlative businesses we're featuring but also the updated roster of San Francisco's black-owned restaurants and dynamic links to their webpages to be a resource all year round. National Black Business Month is an opportunity to move into the future. Join us for this seminal event.
