Black Entrepreneurship Alliance 4th Anniversary
BEA’s 4th Anniversary Celebration & Graduation Event
A New Chapter
As BEA turns four, we pause to reflect on the milestones behind us and step boldly into the next chapter of our journey. This special evening will bring together Black entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, business leaders, industry champions, civic leaders, and thought partners for a night dedicated to leadership, connection, and growth.
Celebrating Two Cohorts
We are proud to celebrate the achievements of:
The 5th Cohort of the Business & Leadership Essentials Certificate Program, supported by TD in collaboration with Schulich ExecEd.
The inaugural cohort of the Business Process Improvement Program, delivered in partnership with York University School of Continuing Studies.
Join us as we honour these graduates and look ahead to building on our mission: breaking down barriers and creating lasting opportunities for Black professionals and entrepreneurs.
