Each year political, business and civic leaders from across Louisiana descend on Washington, D.C. to celebrate with the Mystick Krewe of Louisiana during D.C. Mardi Gras. This weekend of networking and culture presents a unique opportunity for black leaders across our state to engage and strengthen coalitions that uplift our community and strengthen our state. The inaugural Louisiana Black Leadership Forum will bring together black and minority leaders from Louisiana to network, share impactful initiatives, opportunities and threats to advancing economic, civic and political power in our state. We will profile examples of effective engagement and identify opportunities to deepen our collaboration and partnerships.<\/span><\/p>\n
