CalEPA Awards the Fresno Metro Black Chamber an Environmental Justice Grant

Published on September 13, 2018

Since taking the helm of the Fresno Metro Black Chamber, Tara Lynn Gray has brought real change for the chamber in the city of Fresno. Under her command, as head of the chamber, the chapter has grown larger and larger, boasting members from every kind of business in the city.

Tara is a firm believer in innovation and has begun working with the Fresno Metro Black Chamber to inspire and effect real change in her short time there.

Tara is directly responsible for the creation of over 37 new jobs at the Fresno Metro Black Chamber. With this kind of growth, is it any wonder that the chapter has continued to see unparalleled success at bringing in new members. Part of the success of the Chamber has been the unusual approach that Gray has taken to reach out to new members, Gray commented, “In order to be successful members of the community it is important for us to reach out and to have success at bringing unparalleled prosperity to those around us.” Gray has reached out to local businesses and engaged with media in a message of inclusion and community. Gray added, “We are stronger together with a community of aligned and focused business leaders all working towards growth in the same direction.”

A Prestigious Reward

The CalEPA has recognized the service and the excellence of many of its communities all over the state of California and this is because they have seen the way that the Fresno Metro Black Chamber has worked to make an investment in reaching out to the entire community. The program has been in place since 2002 and has given out 2.8 million to communities all over the state.

Gray has worked tirelessly since joining as the President and CEO of the Chamber to come up with new ways to reach out to the community and to ensure that the chamber is coming up with ways to serve. The list of accomplishments which led to Fresno Metro Black Chamber being recognized for this award is quite long. The city has created drives, initiatives and programs to ensure that all members of the community are engaged and feel a part of the process.

Gray plans to use this endowment to help the community grow and to thrive. There has never been a better time to be a member of the Fresno Metro Black Chamber. Under Gray’s leadership, the entity will continue to thrive and to reach new levels of success in the coming years. Working with the local community and programming common goals is going to lead to continued success for all members as well as the entire community.

Take the time to learn about the chamber and see how you may be a part of the equation. Maybe you have some ideas to share, maybe you have a story to tell. Maybe you want to continue to be a part of the growth of the community. Whatever the case may be, this is an ideal time to be a member and to watch the city of Fresno flourish under Gray’s leadership.
