We, the members of RMOA, are proud and patriotic citizens who have served honorably in the defense of America through participation in this nation's armed services in peace and war. As current owners and members of businesses and related organizations, we proclaim that RMOA's primary mission is to contribute to the economic success of America through the enhancement of RMOA members' personal and corporate economic powers, thus enabling the organization to chart a path for the economic growth of minorities in general, and RMOA members in particular.
In order to meet today's challenges, RMOA has developed a strategy by which each of its members will play a meaningful and integral part - regardless of their affiliated company's core competencies.
RMOA's Mission Priorities
- Promote member economic growth.
- Assist members in achieving economic power through the accumulation of personal and corporate wealth.
- Utilize the attained economic power to create employment opportunities for minorities.
RMOA's Strategic Requirements:
- Create a RMOA funding methodology.
- Establish Standing Committees, Special Committees, and Task Forces to implement the RMOA strategy.
- Provide a dynamic set of Instructions and Principles that are detailed enough for implementation, but general enough for development and growth of the Strategy.
These are difficult and demanding times for Americans. Using any of the accepted indicators of progress: education, employment, housing, voting rights, etc., many gains made by Americans in decades past have undergone serious erosion. In order to achieve RMOA's strategic objectives, member companies and partner organizations must aggressively support all RMOA activities. We must act swiftly and effectively, as individuals and organizations, to ensure that RMOA is able to implement and benefit from a timely decision making process.
Among the many variables that operate against the successful establishment and growth of small and minority-owned businesses, the most critical variable is the misguided notion that small businesses in general - and minority-owned businesses in particular - have been given an unfair advantage over their non-minority competitors.
In reality, small and minority-owned businesses are primarily responsible for job creation within America's urban centers, thereby making a significant contribution toward addressing the massive unemployment challenges that exist within our cities.
The problems facing these business owners are too great for any individual or single organization to solve. Therefore, we, as RMOA members, believe that we can make a much larger contribution by working together to obtain economic growth. Since we have served our country in both peace and war, we believe that or nation merits our continued unswerving loyalty and support through the use of our management expertise.
Over time, this will enable us to turn the tide of economic regression to one of maximum productivity and success. RMOA members are committed to working as individuals and as a group to dispel the misconception that small and minority-owned businesses play a minimal role in the economic well-being of our country.
