Sponsorship Elegibility
The Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce warmly welcomes all companies that align with our vision. In our commitment to fostering meaningful partnerships, we have established policies for considering both new and renewing national corporate partners:
01
We kindly request that our partners have established a formal diversity program within their organization. This program should be designed to cultivate an environment that supports the growth, development, inclusion, and equitable treatment of all employees.
02
Partners are expected to have formal procurement initiatives targeted to black women and black men entrepreneurs. At a minimum, these initiatives must recognize the status of certified minority and black men and women’s business enterprise and develop contract opportunities for their products and/or services.
03
We expect our partners to have at least 10 percent Black business owner representation on their corporate board and/or senior management, reflecting our commitment to diversity in leadership.
04
Our partnership is designed to be mutually beneficial to both respective interests. As such, benefits are structured to and may be customized to meet corporate partner business goals with an emphasis on providing visibility and recognition among our membership as well as the women’s entrepreneurial community at large.
05
We believe in fostering a vibrant and collaborative environment. While we do not provide market exclusivity for corporate partnerships, we welcome diverse partnerships that enhance our community and drive mutual success.
