Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, visited the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles recently to talk with area small business owners about some of the economic challenges facing the nation and what corporations like JPMorgan Chase are doing to support small businesses.

More than 100 small business owners, primarily African American, were in attendance. Dimon later spoke at a town hall at the Forum in front of 1,000 employees, many of whom volunteered to stuff school supplies into more than 2,000 backpacks for children in Inglewood and other area neighborhoods. The backpacks were donated to the Brotherhood Crusade for distribution.
