OAME is a non-profit, tax-exempt membership organization that has been in existence since 1987; with a mission to promote and develop entrepreneurship and economic development for ethnic minorities in the State of Oregon & SW Washington. We are an all-inclusive organization and encourage everyone to live by our motto: “Everybody’s In, Nobody’s Out.” Membership with OAME supports the core services that we provide to our members, and to small businesses (MWEVDESB). OAME has partnerships with the Private, Public and Educational Sectors that lead to connections and business opportunities for you and your business. We focus on providing support services to small businesses; our core of services are:  technical assistance, marketing, networking, access to capital, and business incubation. Our monthly networking events are “the place to be” with over 170 MWVESB attending the meetings. We currently have over 700 members from various industries and fields.
