Summit Overview

The North Carolina Black Alliance (NCBA), previously known as Alliance of North Carolina Black Elected Officials (ANCBEO), will hold its 15th Annual NC Black Summit on May 14-15, 2020 at the Raleigh Marriott City Center, 500 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh, NC 27601. This year’s theme Focused on the Fight: Facing the Future provides a platform for attendees to engage in thoughtful conversations regarding leadership, infrastructure and economic development opportunities that would enhance local communities.

This event has grown to become one of the most important gatherings in the state to discuss issues of importance to the African-American community. Nearly 400 of the state’s leading black elected officials, advocates and community stakeholders gather to discuss the many issues facing our communities such as climate environmental justice, criminal justice, economic justice, voting rights, and the census. These discussions are meant to aid the development of proactive solutions that participants implement in their communities to encourage constructive policy dialogue and foster positive change.
