Letter from the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the
Alabama House Legislative Black Caucus
Greetings, The members of the Alabama House
Legislative Black Caucus are working with Alabama
businesses to assure that black entrepreneurs are
allowed every opportunity to succeed. The
Partnering for Progress Conference at the
Marriott at Capitol Hill in Prattville, Alabama
will begin new dialogue between the business
community and each member of the Legislative
Black Caucus and their constituency. We welcome
this opportunity to build relationships with
corporations throughout Alabama. The goals of our
Caucus will empower more black entrepreneurs to
move from being small operations to employing
individuals, having corporations to invest in
black communities and further improving the
quality of life for our people throughout
Alabama. Sincerely,
Oliver L. Robinson, Chairman Alabama House Black
Caucus
George C. Bandy, Vice Chair Alabama House Black
Caucus
