SUCC3SS Accelerator & Reports

Developing An Updated Framework for The Economic and Community
Empowerment of The BIPOC Community of Berkshire County

What is the Berkshire SUCC3SS Accelerator?

The 2020 Berkshire County SUCC3SS Report is a summation of Findings from the 2020 Berkshire County SUCC3SS Idea Jam. This Idea Jam was a community event series designed to create a holistic, collaborative framework for a successful ecosystem for Berkshire Black businesses, community members, and the Berkshire County community at large.

The community came together using an Idea Jam methodology to establish the Berkshires as a model for Black Economic empowerment for counties across the North East.
