GCBCC Announces Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Business Collaborative

The purpose of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) efforts of Gwinnett County Black Chamber of Commerce is to accelerate racial equity and inclusion by leveraging our community’s power of collective partnerships. Together we will find solutions that generate meaningful change, dismantle systemic racism and make our Gwinnett community live up to the state and regional diversity of our county.

Systemic racism, immobility and inequity are all too prevalent. But we, Black business owners and the diverse community of Gwinnett County, can change things in our own communities.

Become a part of the our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) today. Contact us today.

Don’t Forget Home Office Deductions During COVID-19

As long as you used part of your home regularly and exclusively for business, you can take a deduction for the months you worked there; it was your principal place of business
