SIDEBAR Summer 2021 - 23

MONTGOMERY B AR .O R G
By Rebecca Sallen, Esq.
W
e are now coming up to the first anniversary of PPP loans rolling out to help struggling
small businesses in the wake of the pandemic. After learning how minority-owned small
businesses disproportionately had their loans rejected, the MBA saw an opportunity
to help. Putting words into action, the Diversity Networking Initiative (DNI) was developed by our members as an MBA
benefit, connecting attorneys with local vendors whose services support law firms. Featured businesses are highlighted on the
Marketplace Section of MontgomeryBar.org free of charge, where some have elected to include special offers for MBA members.
Special networking opportunities will also be available for partnering businesses. This program will provide our members with
more options for services. Additionally, it is an easy way for our members to get to know more people in our community. Please
join us in welcoming and supporting some of our newest DNI business partners:
