The Afrodescendant Leadership Alliances (ALAs) Black Wealth Club (“BWC”) was established in response, to support the black community in Canada to build wealth and reinvest it in their environment. By bringing together emerging black leaders with inspiring speakers, experts, and industry professionals, the BWC aims to help black leaders enhance their leadership skills, network, and business acumen. Our members are selected annually on an application-basis into a multi-year cohort program. The selection process assesses candidates’ experience and achievements, while considering their unique personal circumstances and hardships they may have overcome. They are offered the opportunity to connect with other like-minded, passionate members and both hear from and interact with entrepreneurs, business leaders, and community builders. Topics discussed include (but are not limited to): wealth creation, entrepreneurship, leadership, real estate, financial services, and business skills.
