I have no affiliation with any chamber but common sense tells me that creating a black chamber in Ogden may not make sense. 1) the numbers don't seem to be there 2) you isolate yourself from valuable relationships within the greater community. Why not instead chose an existing organization and form a strong committee within it or alternatively select individuals in the black community to participate in several different organizations so this very important demographic has a voice in several forums? Whatever the route, I truely hope the black community can thrive in Utah...Utah needs this result.
