As part of our Good Business campaign, 6abc was a proud sponsor of the 2nd Annual National Convening of Black Mayors created by the African American Chamber of Commerce of Pennsylvania, New Jersey & Delaware. The event took place on August 11th & 12th. Anchor Sharrie Williams moderated a panel with visiting Black Mayors from across the country, discussing ways to support Black & Brown small businesses and other solutions to uplift cities with large African American populations.
Niki Hawkins - 6abc's VP of Community Engagement was on the planning committee for the two-day conference and organized a welcoming dinner at the 6abc studios for visiting Mayors, with catering by Victoria's Kitchen & Catering and florals by Amaranth Florists.
