Be a Link in the Chain of Change!
We believe that meaningful change happens through connection and collective effort. Inspired by Mel King's powerful book, Chain of Change: Struggles for Black Community Development, we are seeking individuals and organizations that are actively transforming lives and communities. We invite organizations to share with us how they are driving transformation.
Tell us how you are contributing to this vital Chain. What tangible differences are you making? What challenges are you tackling head-on? Submit your statement here before June 1, 2025, for a chance to be featured in the program book for our 16th Annual Breakfast on June 18, 2025.
The first ten submissions will be read out loud as part of the program.
