IAEOZ Summit 2021 Sponsorship Opportunities

To Our Sponsor Partners

KDM & Associates hosts the first “Innovation Agriculture and Energy  Opportunity Zone Summit”. Domestic and International experts will address the theme, “What Works in Innovation in Agriculture and Energy”? This question the Summit Team raises begins a 5-year mission to create partnership engagements between Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) federal, state and local governments and private industry. The Summit will foster collaborations to implement solutions to address systemic barriers that have been identified in rural communities that are co-located around Opportunity Zones and Envision Centers. The partnerships agree that these areas can experience significant progress toward sustainability, and job creation by learning about application best practices with smart agriculture and energy innovation.


This historic summit will attract stakeholders like agriculture and energy scientists and researchers, potential investors, industry and governments to engage farmers, faculty, legislators, community activists and national and international decision makers.


We invite you to bring your knowledge and capabilities to participate in this agriculture and energy innovation transformation. The benefits are tremendous! You will have an opportunity to interact with experts from around the world. You will learn how to take advantage of a $100 Billion Economic Stimulus Program developed to ignite a culture of innovation and to prepare a diversified, 21st century workforce in the agriculture and energy sectors.

Henry G. Parks, Jr. Sponsor

$100,000.00
Pay with PayPal or a debit/credit card

Henry G. Parks, Jr. (1916 – 1989), is best known as the founder of H.G. Parks, Inc., the first black corporation to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He was born Henry Faris Parks in Atlanta, Georgia on September 29, 1916 to Henry Green Parks Sr., of Atlanta, Georgia, and Gainelle Esther Williams, of Birmingham, Alabama. He was raised, however, in Dayton, Ohio when his parents moved north.


In 1951 Parks established the Parks Sausage Company which he headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The following year the United States Department of Agriculture agreed to regular inspection of Parks Sausages. With the government guarantee of the quality of his products, within two decades, Parks was operating a multi-million-dollar corporation selling his pork products as far north as Connecticut and as far south as Virginia.


The success of Parks Sausage Company caught the attention of corporate America. By 1968 Parks appeared on the cover of Business Week. Soon afterwards he joined the board of directors of First Pennsylvania Corporation, Magnavox, W. R. Grace and Company, and Warner Lambert. In January 1969 Parks took Parks Sausage public and it became the first African American firm listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Between 1951 and 1977 Parks Sausage Company never posted a losing year. Company sales reached a record $14 million in 1976. On May 20, 1977, the Norin Corporation acquired more than 95% of the outstanding common stock of the Parks Company and Henry retired from the business at the age of 61.

Henry Blair Sponsor

Pay with PayPal or a debit/credit card

Henry Blair (1807 – 1860) was the second African American inventor to receive a patent. Born in Glen Ross, Maryland, his first invention was the Seed-Planter, patented October 14, 1834, which allowed farmers to plant more corn using less labor in a smaller amount of time. The machine also helped with weed control. On August 31, 1836, he obtained a second patent for a cotton planter. This invention worked by splitting the ground with two shovel-like blades which were pulled along by a horse. A wheel-driven cylinder followed behind which dropped the seed into the newly plowed ground. Blair had been a successful farmer for years and developed the inventions as a means of increasing efficiency in farming.
