The Goals, Mission Statement and Vision
Goals:To create an incubator to house, nurture, guide, instruct and empower micro businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs to successfully build and maintain their own business. We also provide job training that is relevant to the needs of the business community.
Mission:"Helping to provide a better quality of life in the community through business development and culturally focused pre-employment training."
Vision: The vision of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Business Empowerment Center is to create a prosperous society composed of all its citizens participating in a global economy without the need for legistalation and without regard to race, creed, color, sexual orientation or gender, but simply the content of their character.
Community Perspective: "Many years of attempts to legislate minority population into the mainstream of economic and entrepreneurial opportunities have failed to produce a totally integrated American society. America's economy is based on free enterprise. For American society to reach its full potential all of its citizens must be active participants." Rev. Richard Wright
"The most important community benefit of this project is the creation of an environment to foster new business opportunities for the all populations of our region. We are about encouraging our community to become employers instead of employees, to become self sufficient instead of welfare dependent and to enter the global markets as competitors and not set-asides." Donata Martin
"The Center will serve as a model for all individuals, groups and organizations within the community, city, state and assist in encouraging people to start a business. The Center will provide culture specific training, administrative and operating support for up to five years during the growth phase of a new business. Business owners will have an opportunity to rent operating space at reasonable rates where shared resources are available." Wallace Andrews | |
