Welcome to CAAO.net

CAAO (pronounced K-O) is an umbrella consulting organization for the black professional organizations of Northeast Ohio.  CAAO serves as a conduit and referral source to existing resources for entrepreneurial development, professional development, and leadership empowerment for its member organizations and their members.

In addition, CAAO has developed a variety of benefits and services including a joint calendar, job referrals, business leads, and three empowerment circles: entrepreneurial, non-profit and leadership.

CAAO's member organizations communicate with over 30,000 black professionals on a regular basis.  Thus, CAAO serves as a dynamic link to the "New Economy" for black professionals of Northeast Ohio.
