“The destiny of any community is directly tied to the strength of its economy and to the degree to which that economy affects the larger community of which it is part. A strong, well-developed, empowered economic foundation will insure a secure, blossoming, sustainable community.”

Influence1 and Economic Empowerment: A strong community is dependent upon the responsible use and sharing of economic and technical resources. The components of such access should include economic and social benefits, education, training and employment.

Influence1’s goals are to assist communities in building foundations that allow continued growth and expanded opportunities for the success of the individual and the community. Through components/subsidiaries that include Economic Development Programs and Seminars, Housing Development, and Community Revitalization, Influence1 achieves its goals by ensuring that communities are empowered and entrusted with access to economic opportunities.

Influence1 advocates for measures that advance and safeguard the empowerment of all communities without barriers based on race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin of individuals within service-communities.
