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.

Valleri Crabtree will share news about 'No Labels'

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.
