OUR
MISSION
Our mission is to educate, empower, enhance and enlighten
our members
as they seek to secure solutions on growing their BUSINESS!
Import & Export Opportunities
International business development consists of exporting and
importing of products, goods and services. The Atlanta
Black Business Association offers assistance and education
to local small and medium sized businesses as it relates to
their options presented by the global marketplace. From
travel and tourism, to entertainment, the Atlanta Black
Business Association will continue to provide our members
with the resources they need to compete and exceed in this
global economy.
For more
information on exporting and the steps to a “good strategy
for import/export opportunities”, please visit the following

Trade is a two-way street and the Import side of the trade
equation is also an important one to
the
continued vitality of economic growth. Importers have the
legal responsibility to manage, maintain and control a
compliant and secure global import supply chain.
When buying a product or service from a foreign seller, the
U.S. business must be familiar with the myriad of the many
regulations that affect import operations including
assessment and customs audit, target accounts, valuation
methods and control policies. The terms of the sale must
also be understood. Some other issues of importance are:
The clearance process and procedures, record retention,
power of attorney, express consignment management, internal
receiving procedures, customs bond procedures and defaults,
along with harmonized classification line review management,
American goods returned qualification procedures, and
returned repaired declarations and qualifications
procedures.
PHILANTHROPIC ACTIVITIES & INVOLVEMENT
Youth Leadership International
The
Atlanta Black Business Association continues to support.
non-profit social and civic organizations and private
schools that seek to assist young entrepreneurs in their
quest to become profitable business owners.
Business Internship Program (BIP)
Our BIP
Program allows students to intern with companies so that
they will have a clear understanding of how businesses
operate. The students also learn the precise knowledge of
the specific challenges of business ownership and how to
overcome them. The students will also learn how to handle
conflict and how to resolve issues. After completion of the
program, students will receive assistance with “Building
Their Business”.
Annual “Christmas is a Must” Event
This annual event identifies socio-economically deprived
families and rewards them with a
“shopping
spree” to be used for toys, clothing and school supplies.
The Model Project
This
project is operated by Travis Winkey. This program teaches
children the value and importance of sustaining positive
self esteem through problem solving, math and physics. The
seminars include motivational classes that give the students
positive reinforcement and the ability to set goals, both
short term and long term. The program focuses on
commitment, loyalty, integrity and self image. The students
also make visits to various penile institutions to
understand the direct result of “wrong choices”.
AIDS Awareness & Education
This
program is geared toward continuous education on the
prevention and treatment of aids in all communities and in
all walks of life.
