Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Kickoff Luncheon Recap
Earlier this week, BGR Group hosted a successful kickoff luncheon to celebrate the Congressional Black Caucus’s Annual Legislative Conference, featuring CBC Executive Director Vincent Evans. Vince shared first-hand insights from the CBC’s newly released Corporate Accountability report, What Good Looks Like, which outlines how corporations can better partner on priority issues to help close the racial economic gap. Key report highlights include actionable steps for improving diversity in leadership, expanding economic opportunities for minority communities, and fostering long-term accountability. The report also answers the question that many corporations had about how to determine what “good” looks like.
The lunch, attended by administration officials, Hill staff, clients, and local stakeholders, underscored the CBC’s conference theme, “Vision to Victory.” As Vince emphasized, achieving true corporate accountability isn’t just about policy — it’s about turning our collective vision into measurable victory for underserved communities. This event provided a timely and important opportunity to reflect on how corporations can move beyond commitments to drive meaningful progress.
