Message from the CEO

Hear from Vincent Iweanoge

MACC was founded to give Maryland's African and diaspora business owners a shared platform — for advocacy, growth, and the kind of partnerships that turn local enterprises into regional leaders. We are the first organization of our kind in the state.

Our Story

How MACC came to be

MACC was founded by a coalition of Maryland-based African entrepreneurs who saw the need for a single, organized voice representing their interests across the state.

What began as informal gatherings has grown into a chamber that connects, advocates for, and grows businesses in Maryland's African and diaspora communities.
