About Us

The Economic Development Association for Black Communities (EDABC) connects, convenes, and catalyzes people, resources, and opportunities to drive inclusive economic growth and ensure Black communities are positioned to prosper, grow, and thrive.

​

By focusing on talent development, business growth, and policy, we work to remove systemic barriers and create pathways for equitable participation in the economy. We serve as a strategic convener, aligning stakeholders across industries to develop data-driven solutions that foster regional competitiveness and long-term prosperity.

We connect, convene, and catalyze people, resources, and opportunities to ensure that Black communities can fully participate in, and benefit from, economic development efforts. Through comprehensive programming, data analysis, and strategic initiatives, we drive business growth, workforce development, and policy reform to create sustainable, thriving regions.

We envision...

A future where economic inclusion is not an afterthought, but a foundational principle woven into regional growth strategies. Our work paves the way for:

  • Wealth-building opportunities

  • Regional competitiveness

  • Equitable representation in decision-making

  • Long-term economic sustainability

Announcing Our First Impact Report

We’re proud to share the inaugural EDABC Impact Report—a reflection of the work, wins, and partnerships that are powering inclusive growth for Black Coloradans.

We believe that inclusive economies create stronger, more resilient communities. Economic growth is not truly successful unless all people have access to the opportunities, capital, and resources needed to thrive.
​
We are committed to advancing systemic solutions that address historical and present-day economic disparities. By fostering collaborative partnerships, advocating for equitable policies, and empowering business and workforce ecosystems, we work to build a future where economic mobility is achievable for all.

Principles That Power Our Progress

Our leadership team and committees are dedicated to driving impact through strategic initiatives, advocacy, and collaboration.
