New York, New York – Since its inception in 2022 Minority Enterprise Development Week in New York State has continued to fuel the growth of small and midsized businesses in the State of New York. The
events at last year’s MED WEEK included a Town Hall session hosted by the Town of Hempstead Deputy Supervisor Dorothy L. Goosby; a panel discussion at the Hays Theatre located at Molloy University, and a Conversation with C-Suite Executives at Lorraine Gregory Communication’s Studio in Edgewood, New York.
Hempstead Deputy Supervisor Dorothy L. Goosby issued a proclamation from the Town of Hempstead proclaiming the month of October as Minority Enterprise Development Month at last year’s event at Town Hall Pavilion.
This year’s Minority Enterprise 1st day of activities will be held on Thursday, October 9th, 2025 at the Town of Hempstead Pavilion from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. All activities during the 2025 calendar year will be a part of our 15th year-long commemoration highlighting the work we have embarked upon at the chamber.
Minority Enterprise Development Month 2025 2.0 will continue its unique partnership which include the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc., 100 Black Men of Eastern New York, Inc., Lorraine Gregory Communications, and the African American Small Business Foundation, Inc.
Minority Enterprise Development Month 2025 2.0 will be composed a series of Pre-Med Week activities during the month of October and consisted of three major events centered around providing quality content, tools, and resources to help fuel the small and midsized businesses throughout the state of New York.
At last year’s event the chamber in a historic ceremony unveiled its newly designed lapel pin, and commemorated Founder’s Day by presenting its Vice President Rose Ward its 1st Founder’s Day Award.
The events that compose MED Week are meant to raise awareness among minority business owners, and the larger business community and support these businesses in their efforts to grow to scale.
“Minority Enterprise Development Month will continue to fuel the growth of small business in New York State well into the future.
“The Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc.’s insight and knowledge of resources in New York State gives the chamber a unique advantage of helping its small business owners who are members of the chamber, and its wider network grow to scale.”
Minority Enterprise Development Month is also about leveraging your network of businesses through information on how to grow customer base, enter new markets, access capital through grants and contracting opportunities.
We often hear of the many challenges that minority-owned businesses face; but this is a time to celebrate the successes of minority-owned businesses.
