The Presidents’ RoundTable (PRT) and The AFRO American Newspapers are co-sponsoring this critical symposium to provide the community with strategies and guidelines for assisting the African-American and minority business community in the implementation of a business success plan of action that will take them to the next level while working with the reality of a Trump presidency.
