Advancin g Our Purpose , Elevatin g Our Power
We envision a world in which all communities have an equal voice in public policy through leadership cultivation, economic empowerment, and civic engagement. A racially equal world is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical social, economic, and cultural requirement of sustainable success. Since 1976, the unifying aim of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (CBCF) has been to bring our community together toward the advancement of the global Black community.
We hold genuine relationships with our community and so much has happened in the past year that we would like to help connect the dots with pertinent information, both qualitative and quantitative. CBCF has awarded numerous scholarships, welcomed many fellows, launched hundreds of interns, published vitally important reports and journals regarding issues in the United States and abroad, hosted grassroot gatherings of purpose, and brought together thousands from across the world for our 51st Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. We are proud of thisr work.
CBCF has a critical role to play in ensuring a future that is more equitable and just for all. My commencement of serving as the CBCF President and CEO this year has been rooted in gratitude. hold a steady gratitude for the opportunity to serve our community, to stand in truth, and to act with strength and purpose in a way that leaves a lasting impact for generations to come.
Such a vision requires multi-stakeholder partnerships and the CBCF is indebted to every individual, every public servant, every board, organization, and company that has willfully, loudly, and gladly contributed to and supported the advancement of our mission. This community of support is vital to the fulfillment of our mission and to changing the power structures that determine the future for Black communities.
Together, we celebrate our past success and look forward to the future with courage and hope. Before we expand our work even further this year, let us reflect on the year 2021. We had an excellent one.
With deep gratitude and purpose,
Nicole Austin-Hillery President and CEO, Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.
