The LA Business Networking Group, Ellevate, Black Women’s Network, National Black Business Trade Association, Black Business Association, and Black Business Alliance are a few social and professional organizations I found in my community that I found interesting. After reading up on the organizations listed if I did decide to join an organization, I would join Ellevate, Black Business Association and Black Business Alliance, these are the three that interest me the most as they offer training and mentoring, networking events as well as opportunities to collaborate with other members. The core values of these organizations really set them apart from the rest as they are geared toward the support of women in business and minority businesses.

Set and share a goal for how you will become involved in your community or social /professional organization. Discuss how involvement in these types of groups could positively affect you as a student/employee? (Minimum 100 words total)

Joining a social/professional organization will create the opportunity to network and be mentored by professionals with more experience than I have, which will enhance the skills and abilities that I have. Being involved with groups such as these, they usually require you to participate in community service and servant leadership, giving back to those less fortunate help keep you humble, offer additional education, these are just a couple of ways they could positively affect you.
