Projects from the Table

In Spring ’23, ASATT’s Consulting Team partnered with Business Leaders of Colors (BLOC), which is founded and managed by Gladys Brangman. BLOC is a local Ithaca organization dedicated to building and supporting a network of small business owners who are from traditionally underrepresented groups. BLOC helps these business owners by providing resources and a cohesive network of shared wisdom and business advice. Last semester, ASATT was able to impact BLOC in a number of ways. One of the major things the Consulting Team worked on was creating an exhibit in the Tompkins County History Center which featured individual business owners, their stories, and their products for the public to see. ASATT Consulting also helped with website and social media development. It was an honor to work with such a meaningful organization and meet so many hardworking minority business owners. Gladys was amazing to work with and she even gave a speech at our Social Impact Gala, which we hosted at Cornell towards the end of the year. We look forward to a continuous partnership with BLOC and can’t wait to see what these business owners accomplish.
