NC BLACK Summit
Mark your calendars and join us for the 19th Annual NC Black Summit on April 17-18 at the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree. This year’s Summit is critical as we navigate the post-election climate and focus on anchoring our efforts to stay the course.
Under the theme “Charting OUR Course Through a Crisis,” the Summit provides a platform for Black elected officials, public policy advocates, community stakeholders, strategic partners, and community to come together and focus on keeping OUR priorities at the forefront by resisting distractions and advancing solutions that build a more equitable and just North Carolina.
Early Bird Pricing
$259
Conference registration includes one ticket to the following events: Thursday Night Opening and Networking Receptions, Breakfast, Jeanne H. Lucas Luncheon, and the 19th Annual Summit Banquet.
We are pleased to announce that we are offering a limited number of scholarships for college students 18-22 years old. To apply for a scholarship, please email Monique Colvin.
Pre-Conference Sessions
Join us for the pre-conference session, “The State of Democracy,” on Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Over the past decade, North Carolina’s democracy has been significantly weakened under a Republican-controlled General Assembly—drawing comparisons to third-world nations. How did we get here? Where are we headed? And what must Black leaders and elected officials do to reclaim our democracy and expand our electorate?
Registration is free and separate from the Summit, but space is limited. Reserve your spot today!
