Silicon Valley Bank takes the lead in supporting our Blacks 'n Business Blacks 'n Technology Awards Ceremony.
Having previously been a Silver supporter at our last ceremony, Silicon Valley Bank has now become our lead Platinum Sponsor
as part of their commitment to servicing our community.
Whether you are a business or an individual, Silicon Valley Bank can help you reach your financial goals.
Come into a branch office and talk to a representative and tell them you heard it from our black chamber of commerce.
One of our members, Channon Kennedy works at Silicon Valley Bank and led an effort to get her bank more involved with our chamber. Volunteers and other opportunities appear ready to blossom. If you would like to work for them or open an account, come and connect with their staff at our Blacks 'n Business Blacks 'n Technology Awards Ceremony this Saturday.

Blacks 'n Business Blacks 'n Technology
Awards Ceremony
Towanda Yancy, scientist, engineer and inventor honored at the 2018 Blacks 'n Business Blacks 'n Technology Awards Ceremony
 We are proud to recognize, honor and award Ms Towanda Yancy with the Silicon Valley Black Chamber of Commerce's "Excellence in Technology" award, an award named in honor of Roy Clay Sr. himself. Like Roy Clay Sr or "Hidden Figures" (the movie) many don't know the accomplishments of African Americans in the sciences and technology fields.
Come see and hear the stories of not just what these pioneers have done, but HOW they did it.
It promises to be uplifting and encouraging, so bring someone you would want to hear about the history that will propel them into the future.
Tickets purchased on-line ONLY until Friday 5pm.

We believe that our newsletter helps YOU stay connected to important news and information about the San Jose and surrounding business community affairs.
We also cover issues that pertain to the Silicon Valley, state and national black community across the nation.
You can "opt" to be just on our "monthly newsletter" Group so you only get emails from the chamber once a month. But don't "opt" OUT unless you must.
Being connected is about being informed and at the end of the day, we want to spend our time and our service wisely.
Thank You for staying "connected" to our Silicon Valley Black Chamber of Commerce
