Hello Chamber Members and Friends!
Today is the day — let’s show up for our community and Fill the Ford!

I’ll be out there today, and I would love to see you.
After you cast your vote, swing by and drop off your food items to support families right here at home.

Let’s make an impact together.
Let’s Fill. That. Ford.

Strong communities are built on strong connections.
We were grateful to help introduce Mac Haik Ford DeSoto to MT Hope House Food Pantry, and it’s inspiring to see that connection grow into a food drive that will bless families across our area.
Proud of the work happening right here at home.
Be sure to stop by with your can goods. LET'S HELP FILL A FORD!!! Don't overlook the "cookout" this Friday!

Thank you for the incredible work you continue to lead in our region. The GSWBCC was proud to facilitate this special day for The Bethel Project, and we remain committed to supporting collaborative efforts that strengthen families, expand resources, and uplift our community.

This is what meaningful partnership looks like.

We’re honored to have Justin Chatman serving as the Master of Ceremonies for this year’s GSWBCC Annual Men's Conference: Building One Legacy at a Time. His leadership, energy, and commitment to men’s health set the tone for an unforgettable experience.

Justin has a personal message for you — and he’s encouraging every man in our community to secure their ticket today.

Your legacy starts with showing up. https://app.asforms.net/api/as/4678w7

Birthday Tribute for President Larry Hall

Today, we celebrate the life and leadership of a man who stands at the center of our Chamber’s mission — President Larry Hall.

Your birthday isn’t just a personal milestone, Mr. Hall. It’s a reminder of the impact one committed leader can have on an entire business community. Under your guidance, the Greater Southwest Black Chamber of Commerce continues to grow stronger, more unified, and more intentional about building generational opportunity.

You lead with vision.
You serve with integrity.
You show up with consistency.
And you push all of us to think bigger, work smarter, and stand taller in the spaces we occupy.

On behalf of the Chamber and the entrepreneurs who benefit from your dedication every day — thank you. Thank you for believing in our mission, for championing Black business excellence, and for modeling what it means to build a legacy that outlives you.

Happy Birthday, President Hall.

May this year bring you renewed strength, expanded territory, and the continued fulfillment of the work you were called to do.
