OKC’s minority business development program focus of August Forum
Minority-owned businesses in Oklahoma City have access to a new free assistance program to help them compete for corporate and government contracts.

The program enables minority entrepreneurs and businesses to work with The Urban League of Greater OKC, the Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and REI Oklahoma to facilitate business certifications, receive mentorship, get accounting assistance and more. Attendees will learn how the initiative will fill gaps for minority businesses and benefit the community.
