The meeting features Valleri Crabtree who will share information on the ‘No Labels’ non-profit organization. No Labels is a citizens’ movement of Democrats, Republicans and independents dedicated to a new politics of problem solving. The constituency for this movement existed for years before it had a name -– built by Americans frustrated by watching Washington spend more time on politics than common-sense problem solving. But in the spring of 2010 the idea of No Labels was born, when the Affordable Care Act -– also known as “Obamacare” –- was passed without a single Republican vote.

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.

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.

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!
