ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Returning for its nineth year, the UNITY Networking Mixer & Black History Month Celebration is an evening of “virtual” social networking, connecting, and professional development, designed to strengthen business relationships within the African American community, and in support of local entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations.
On the subject of “Then & Now: Stories Of Transition, Community & Progression,” this year’s virtual conference will bring together Innovators, Agents of Change, Disruptors, and Servant Leaders who are breaking glass ceilings and creating a seat at the table for others to follow. We invite supporters to tune in and learn new strategies to UP your game, SUSTAIN your success and CONTROL your destiny.
The virtual event also provides attendees – a mix of emerging / established entrepreneurs and small business owners, multicultural corporate executives, and community leaders – with a unique opportunity to join the movement to create a unified Central Florida Diversity Professional Network of African American Leaders.
