Vice Chair Wala Blegay says it is important to provide businesses in the County with the information and resources necessary to grow and succeed.

The Minority Business Networking Reception is a part of that effort. We look forward to engaging with our local business community and working with them so they can share in Prince George’s County’s growth and prosperity.”
Vice Chair Blegay also affirmed The People’s Council’s commitment to efficiently address concerns raised during the Small and Minority Business Week events. “The People’s Council will take a proactive approach to addressing the concerns expressed at both the Town Hall and Minority Business Networking Reception, and brainstorm solutions for more efficient and effective outcomes.”
