The Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) is considered to be the
premier African American conference on policy issues. The ALC
provides the platform for the 42 African American Members of
Congress to share the progress of their work on legislative items
and also allows for the exchange of ideas correlated to policy
issues that are of critical concern to their constituents. While the
ALC provides the opportunity for attendees to acquaint themselves
with the 42 Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), the ALC
is also a time for people from across the nation to come together in
one place, at one time to focus on the pressing issues that
challenge Black America. During this conference, people from all
walks of life can be found in the Washington Convention Center.
Anyone who cares about the health, economic, educational and
political state of Black communities is certain to be present.
It is during the National Town Hall Meeting that a distinguished
panel and audience members will further explore this year's theme as
they engage in a lively dialogue about the most important issues
that will help define a common agenda for Black people across the
nation.
For those who want to understand the intricacies of our nation's
policies, the ALC is an ideal conference to gather and process such
information. Sessions such as the CPAR Future Focus Forums have been
especially designed to equip participants with comprehensive
information and analyses along with strategies that can be utilized
to effect change. The topics that are presented during ALC cover
just about all of the areas that are discussed within the halls of
Congress. A preliminary list of Issue Forum and Braintrust sessions
is an indication that the ALC is for everyone. Elected officials,
educators, government agencies, researchers, policy practitioners,
students, clergy, community leaders, business professionals,
corporations, public servants, organizations, entrepreneurs,
industry representatives, retirees, activists and advocates, youth
and everyday citizens will all find something of interest during
this 4-day conference.
After a full day of substantive sessions, registrants are provided
opportunities to network with other attendees, conference speakers
and panelists, sponsors and Members of Congress during such events
as the CBCF Chair's Reception. The Exhibit Showcase also provides
ample networking opportunities as companies and organizations
distribute information and products tailored to the needs of our
attendees. Entertainment is provided to registrants who attend the
Jazz Concert and the Gospel Extravaganza.
The ALC also serves as the CBCF's main fundraiser. Your purchase of
tickets to events such as the Prayer Breakfast, the Annual Awards
Dinner and the CBC Spouses Events helps CBCF to fund its core
initiatives and programs that are described throughout the CBCF
website.
We hope that you will decide to be a part of this important
educational and empowering 37th Annual Legislative Conference. It
promises to be moving and momentous!
