African Americans have quite a few choices when it comes to professional networking events and activities. Groups who meet regularly include First Fridays and Second Thursdays, and also local chapters of organizations such as the NAACP and the Black MBAs.
Many college organizations such as the AKAs, Deltas, and Kappas have monthly local get-to-gethers, and so do many alumni groups, churches, etc. There are even popular annual conferences such as the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs conference, George Fraser's FraserNet conference, and many others.
Truth, be told there are thousands of different networking events - local and national - for Black professionals to attend. The problem is that none of them allow you to continue networking within that group before or after their events.
To solve that problem, my company Lee Moss Media has recently launched www.AfricanAmericans.net - an online community where African Americans professionals can meet and interact with each other every day - all day long.
Free to use, the site is a social network (comparable to LinkedIn or Facebook) that allows users to communicate with each other as if they were in the same room. They can sign each others' guest books, and read and post relevant news, blogs, and events. They can even upload/view videos, and can join/create groups.
For more details about the site or to join for free, visit:
