Minority Legislative Breakfast
Empowering diversity. Enriching communities. Uniting voices.
Our Biggest Joint Advocacy Event
Every year in December, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Montgomery County (HCCMC), the African American Chamber of Commerce of Montgomery County, and  the Asian American Political Alliance get together to host the annual Minority Legislative Breakfast (MLB). This event fosters a space to discuss legislative issues that have an impact on the minority business community of Montgomery County in Maryland, and to develop a common agenda presented as our legislative priorities.
The annual Minority Legislative Breakfast is our biggest advocacy event. HCCMC also hosts a series of online and onsite events throughout the year to follow up on the priorities discussed, and to further expand our advocacy efforts with our elected leaders.

African American Chamber of Commerce of Montgomery County
The African American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) of Montgomery County is a non-profit organization founded in 1996 to support and unify African American businesses in Montgomery County. The founders of AACC recognized the need for an organization specifically focused on increasing the number and strength of African American businesses. While economic development has continued to proliferate throughout most segments of the County, the African American business community has not progressed at the same rate. AACC’s goals include enhancing the positive presence and visibility of African American businesses, conducting regular educational seminars, and serving as an information clearinghouse. AACC promotes networking, mentoring and lobbying for the benefits of African American businesses.
