Your presence, support, and commitment to our Black business community mean so much. Together, we are continuing to Build. Scale. Grow.

North Bay Black Chamber of Commerce 2nd Annual State of Black Business Summit was held to honor over 10 local small businesses in the community. These black-owned businesses have been in service for over 20 years. The honorees have fostered success and entrepreneurship for Black-owned businesses and professionals in Sonoma County and the entire North Bay.

Last night the North Bay Black Chamber of Commerce proudly hosted its successful Annual State of Black Business Summit. It was an inspiring evening celebrating the strength, resilience, and success of Black entrepreneurship throughout our community.
This year, we were honored to recognize twelve outstanding Black-owned businesses that have been serving Sonoma County and the greater North Bay for 20 years or more.
These remarkable business owners have not only built successful and enduring businesses—they have helped pave the way for other Black entrepreneurs and professionals, strengthened our local economy, and made a lasting impact in the communities they serve.
We are proud to celebrate their accomplishments, honor their longevity, and recognize the important legacy they continue to build throughout the North Bay.
Congratulations to our 2026 State of Black Business Summit honorees! See photos from the event:
