The Town of Carrboro is hosting business roundtables this week to better serve local minority businesses, meet their needs and provide support.

The town invites minority business owners and leaders to share their thoughts at two roundtables to be held over Zoom. The first will be held at 9 a.m. on Thursday, July 23 and the second at 2 p.m. on Friday, July 24.

For the purposes of this initiative, the town is only seeking feedback from minority business leaders based in Carrboro or that serve Carrboro residents.

To participate in one of both of these roundtables, business members must complete a Google form. Upon completion of the form, participants will receive invitations to join the upcoming roundtables and can choose whichever best fits their schedule.

As an alternative to the Zoom roundtables, the Town of Carrboro welcomes minority businesses to schedule a one-on-one session with Anita Jones-McNair, the Recreation Parks and Cultural Resources Director & Race and Equity Officer at AMcNair@townofcarrboro.org or Economic Development Director Jon Hartman-Brown at jhartman-brown@townofcarrboro.org.
