329 | Supporting the Growth of Black Businesses with Karla Causey

Awarepreneurs

Our guest this week on the pod is Karla Causey. Karla grew up in Albuquerque and graduated from the University of New Mexico. She had a 25 year career at Sandia National Labs doing HR and contracts work and then went to the Public Service Company of New Mexico where she also worked in HR. She then thought she was retired - until the Board Chair of the Black Chamber of New Mexico asked her to step in as President. In the 18 months that Karla has been at the helm, the organization’s membership has grown 300% and today it’s a highly esteemed organization in the New Mexico ecosystem. This episode is sponsored by the coaching company of the host, Paul Zelizer. Consider a Strategy Session if you can use support growing your impact business.
