Melvin King is an inspirational leader who is dedicated to connecting people and fostering growth. Last year, he founded InspireWorks HR to help meet the needs of Southern Nevadans. The business has already achieved revenue milestones and affected the community.
King is invested in initiatives that both build and represent the community, and he has secured more than $2 million through his grant writing. These funds were funneled into community-focused programs and promoted diversity, equity and inclusion.
Understanding the unique challenges faced by small, Black-owned restaurants, King established the Black Restaurants Association, developing pooled HR services, employee pool programs and leadership development training. He also helped create the Black History Small Business Fair to support Black-owned businesses in North Las Vegas.
King develops strategic partnerships to aid in his strivings for community development. Collaborators include Nevada Partners and UNLV’s Tourism Business Igniter program. His legacy-building, local involvement is set to help and inspire generations of Nevadans.
