The CBCF has made the historic decision to make this year’s Annual Legislative Conference fully virtual and at no cost to all who register. With our organization’s focus areas of education, public health, economic development and empowerment, we are embracing our responsibility to bring our programming to the masses for the first time.

This year the conference has expanded to a month-long event with more than 50 sessions.

Attendees will be prompted to select the sessions they want to view at the scheduled time or on demand. CBC members will continue to serve as honorary hosts for many of these sessions. In addition, the former Prayer Breakfast is now being featured as A Day of Healing and the former Phoenix Awards Dinner is being rebranded as an entertainment show. Both are now available at no charge to all ALC registrants.

This year’s theme is Now Is OurTime
