The theme of this year’s InnoPower Minority Business Conference is Beyond 2020, recognizing that recovery from the current downturn could take even longer than the recovery from the last crisis, especially for the minority business community.
“From the health of our workforce and families to the health of our economy and communities, 2020 has been a year of mass disruption and devastation,” said Robert Shegog, President and COO of Recorder Media Group. “For our minority business community, decades of systemic racism and many structural challenges underscore the underlying economic fragility of underrepresented groups.”
