Member Benefits
Business Networking and Business Mixers
Networking is vital to successful professionals. The CAPBCC’s business mixers, which feature guest speakers and workshops, are held regularly. These functions give members the opportunity to establish personal as well as professional relationships with others who share their goals for success, meet new clients, promote products and services and develop lasting relationships. The CAPBCC also encourages networking with other African American organizations which are dedicated to improving the lives of African-American people.
