Why Join NORBCC?

The NORBCC actively engages with the New Orleans business community year-round, advocating for members, hosting networking events, and providing educational resources to support Black businesses. Our mission is to empower and sustain business growth in Louisiana, emphasizing the importance of active member participation for success.

Reason #1

The buying power for black businesses is on the rise. More and more large companies are looking to partner and work with minority businesses.

Reason #2

That same population of large companies and agencies seek out NORBCC because of our ability to effectively connect minority businesses to opportunities.

Reason #3

Creating opportunities for our members is our top priority. It is our goal to ensure our member businesses and organizations bring value to the business community, are competitive and be sustainable for future generations.
