Founded in 2015, the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts (BECMA) advances the economic well-being of Black businesses, organizations that serve the Black community, and Black residents of Massachusetts. Black economic development will require immediate and long-term community action, leadership, and outside-the-box solutions. We know that there are many people, both within and outside the Black community, who are ready and committed to making Massachusetts an inclusive economy. This effort will require all of us. We created a Council rather than a Chamber because we need the whole community at all levels (individuals, students, small and large businesses/organizations, and corporate partners) to galvanize, organize, educate, agitate and communicate as needed to ensure our collective success.
