Jackson Madison County African American Chamber of Commerce

Jackson Madison County African American Chamber of Commerce The Legacy Chamber of West TN is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to promote member businesses. Our watchword is focus.

As the resource for African American business owners, partnerships, and corporations in Rural West Tennessee, the JMCAACC's objective is to help new and existing businesses reach their potential by using our resources to connect them with major corporations, community leaders, and other business owners so that they learn, grow and network for greater economic development and success. The strength

of our businesses determines the strength of our communities and families. In keeping with that mission, we highlight outstanding contemporary and historical business owners through our Annual Jewel Awards Banquet. We train and educate young people, ages 12-18, for success in business (and in life) through our Follow Me Into Business® youth workforce development program that offers soft skills training, shadowing, mentoring, and internships or paid summer jobs. As part of the eight-week summer program, we also offer a tour of government offices and provide community service opportunities. We provide support for business owners with workshops and our latest effort is a new small business conference, the West Tennessee Business Showcase and Economic Development Conference. We also offer a morning of golf in fun with our Follow Me Celebrity Golf Classic held the second Tuesday in September. Many thanks to our staff and board members. We hope you will consider joining the Jackson Madison County African American Chamber. as a business owner or non-business supporting member. We also have memberships for corporations and corporate professionals.

Please see the attached flyer and application. While middle school students will not yet have their OSHA 10 certification, we are asking them to complete it prior to the start of camp. We will provide access to certification seats if needed.

We are seeking six middle school students (rising 7th and 8th graders) who have an interest in Building Construction or the Building Trades. These students must earn their OSHA 10 certification in advance in order to participate. We will verify successful completion and provide certification cards on the final day of camp.

In addition, we are looking for six high school students (rising 11th and 12th graders) who are currently enrolled in the General Construction program and have already earned their OSHA 10 certification.

Scan the QR code to complete your registration. Classes begin Monday, June 22 at JCM Early College High.
