The Minnesota Retailers Association (MnRA) is proud to partner with the Minority Business Growth Alliance (MBGA), an alliance of professionals, corporations and non-profits, working one-on-one with minority business owners, providing pro-bono strategic guidance and execution support to BIPOC business owners.

We are reaching out with an opportunity for members to volunteer as a business champion, supporting a BIPOC retailer through your expertise, your strategic guidance and your retail knowledge.

As a volunteer business champion you are:

• A primary partner of the minority business owner as you work to help achieve their goals.
• A strategist, facilitator, supporter, connector, listener and liaison.
• A consultant to them as they determine what they need to start, grow, and/or change their business.
• A partner in building trust and bridging any racial challenges.
• A link to MBGA subject matter experts.
