May 2024: Angela Crane Jones

Very few companies can rebrand and build back better. It takes gut, will power, and know how. And then there is exceptionalism.  Building sustainable businesses has been the singular focus of the NBIC since it opened its doors 38 years ago. NBIC has been the launching pad of several successful minority and women-owned businesses such as Slim & Husky’s and The Grilled Cheeserie. The program’s foundation is built on three tenants: business sustainability, capacity building, and job creation. Essential to NBIC’s success has been its leadership. At the helm is Angela Crane Jones, CEO, and a small business advocate.
