Minorities in Business Magazine announced the launch of its 2003 conference series tour, “Show me the Multicultural Money,” focused toward reinvigorating small businesses by providing power networking opportunities and fostering relationships between small companies and local county governments. The conference tour will begin on March 27 in Los Angeles.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, minority-owned businesses are the fastest growing segment of the small business market.
