8th Annual Black Business Awards Recognition & Exhibition

We warmly invite our community, partners, and supporters to step into the promise of the next era.

For nearly a decade, the Madison Black Chamber of Commerce has been a trusted force in advancing Black-owned businesses—creating access, elevating visibility, and building pathways for sustainable growth. The ERA’s Ball marks a defining moment in that journey: where past progress meets future possibility.

This distinguished affair celebrates the relationships, leadership, and collective belief that have shaped the Chamber’s impact—while setting the stage for what comes next. It is an evening designed for those who value excellence, shared vision, and the power of investing in community-forward growth.

Join us for a night where legacy is honored, partnership is elevated, and the next era begins—together.
