Many of you joined us in October as we hosted the BRC's 1st Quarterly Market Day. The event was such a success with twenty BRC members and supporters coming to showcase their products/services. But more importantly to do business with each other.

The purpose of The Business Resource Center is to devise and implement programs to increase the market share of the black economy controlled by the community.

We have implemented Market Day to help you spend your dollars with each other. Come join us for a fun filled day of exchanging dollars with other business members and supporters in the BRC.

If you are a BRC member, you may display your products at no cost, non-members pay $25.00 Vendor space is limited and going fast.

World renowned for his work with Gospel Music Workshops, James Bignon has few equals who possess the combined talents of songwriter, musician, arranger, vocalist, choir director, workshop clinician and transcriber. His ability to lead a mass choir and deliver an inspiring vocal performance is amply demonstrated by his yearly work with the GMWA convention choir.

James’ lead vocal is featured on the “GMWA: 30 Years”, song entitled, “In Time He Will Bring You Out”. Further recordings of his abilities can be heard on Atlanta International Records, “What A Mighty God We Serve” and “Heaven Belongs To You”. Both releases received heavy airplay nationally and there was a great demand for his last effort on Atlanta International Records which was also the title cut, “On The Other Side Of Through”. His previous release “Miracle” on Zhana Records was continued confirmation that God was still guiding the pen of James Bignon and blessing his career which to date includes the seven-year tenure as the Director of the Georgia Mass Choir, Grammy Nominee and numerous Stellar Awards.

For a $25 fee, BRC church choir members can join James Bignon in his workshop. Attendees will perform with Bignon at the BRC Gala to be held April 8 at the Georgia International Convention Center.
