About Us
During an affinity group pop-up at the 2022 American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) annual meeting in Nashville, TN. Black leaders thought that the energy and enthusiasm for supporting their community should not stop there. For several months following the meeting, they hosted online meetings regularly and revived an online discussion board. This evolved into monthly dinners, a LinkedIn group, coffee chats, and more.
It is our hope that you will find mentors, rising stars, speakers, and new thought leaders to incorporate into your professional life with stories and relationships that will impact your career for years to come. Whether in Washington D.C., Chicago, Orlando, or Los Angeles, we hope to see you among us, seeing this vision through.
