Last month, Diverse Erie brought together entrepreneurs, community leaders, elected officials, and supporters at Erie County Community College for the 2026 Mini-Grant Award Ceremony—one of the largest direct investments in BIPOC-owned businesses in Erie County history.

We’re proud to see this investment in our business community. By supporting diverse business owners, we’re helping ensure that entrepreneurship and economic opportunity are accessible to everyone in our community. Congratulations to this year’s grant recipients!

Summer is one of the best times to get out and enjoy everything the Erie region has to offer. From heritage festivals and waterfront concerts to community celebrations, there’s no shortage of ways to explore and support what’s happening in Erie. ☀️

While many communities have seen their local heritage festivals dwindle, the Erie region’s festivals are one of the key elements that makes this place special. Our festivals deliver nostalgia, delicious food, great music, and core memories.

We encourage our members to get out this season and engage with the festivals, events, and small businesses that make our city unique. Our friends at VisitErie put together a great guide for upcoming festivals and events: https://www.visiterie.com/things-to-do/festivals-and-events/?acceptCookies=6a30318c74231.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Knowledge Breakfast on the Future of Healthcare!

From the current state of healthcare and evolving legislation to the growing role of AI, attendees gained valuable perspectives on how healthcare is transforming at both the local and national levels. The conversation highlighted the importance of collaboration, adaptability, and forward-thinking leadership as the industry continues to evolve.

A special thank you to Infinite Erie for sponsoring our Knowledge Breakfast series and helping make important conversations like these possible. Their support allows us to bring together business and community leaders to explore the issues, trends, and opportunities shaping the future of our region.

Thank you to our moderator, Craig Ulmer, and our panelists Dr. Marcus Babiak, Dr. Chris Clark, Brian Durniok, and Dr. George Garrow. Additionally, thank you to everyone who joined us for this engaging discussion. Together, we're helping Erie stay informed, prepared, and positioned for the future of healthcare.
