Special Thanks to:

BLACK DOLLARS MATTER

Courtney W. Holeman, Event Chairman Jacquelyn Sykes-Washington, Project Lead Fatimah Moody Melonie Parker

As part of our signature umbrella event, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise, the Are You Ready? Annual Program, The Reston (VA) Chapter embarked on a project to roundup Black-Owned businesses for this electronic directory to be shared with all registrants as a takeaway deliverable.

We are especially delighted to feature the businesses of members of The Links, Incorporated (*), and pleased to include a total of over 60 businesses recommended by our membership.

Our goal is simply to encourage us all to use and recirculate our dollars within our communities and promote our own economic success.
