We cordially invite you to attend the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida’s (DBCF) 32nd Annual Conference which will be held on May 30 through June 1, 2014 at the Doubletree by Hilton at Sea World, located at 10100 International Drive, Orlando, Fl. This year’s theme is, “All in to Win 2014: The Year of Action

President Barack Obama has declared 2014: The Year of Action!

And the DBCF is answering this call to action to engage, educate and mobilize the voices of Black voters in Florida.

With this in mind, we’re sending you a special invitation to attend one or all of our main events on Saturday, May 31, 2014.

Our main events include: the Power Breakfast, Inaugural Founder’s Luncheon, and the”All in to Win” Gala. The Women’s Empowerment Breakfast will be centered on a conversation amongst women discussing many important topics that women face such as income inequality and healthcare. The Inaugural Milton Morris Founders Luncheon will feature keynote speaker, the Honorable Corrine Brown, U.S. House of Representatives, 5th Congressional District of Florida. We will close out the evening with our signature event, the “All in to Win” Gala, featuring two dynamic keynote speakers, Attorney Benjamin L. Crump, Esq., and the Honorable Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. House of Representatives, 8th Congressional District of New York.

We are committed to impacting change in 2014. We believe that your presence will help make our conference truly unforgettable.

Over 200 guests will be in attendance and this forum will provide an excellent opportunity for you to advertise your business or services to a targeted audience; who traditionally support and patronize businesses that show support for the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida and the Annual Conference.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at the DBCF 32nd Annual Conference in Orlando. For registration and hotel information please visit our conference website www.allin2win.us

Ever wonder how to respond to the gaggle of misinformation so pervasive in our communities? Have you had someone make a political judgment that you know is baseless, but you’re uncertain as to how you refute it in a non-threatening way? Then you want to attend this meeting. Former Democratic Executive Committee Chair Charlene Hypes will lead a discussion on ‘ME’. It is an initiative that is designed to motivate and educate!
