President's Message
Greetings Greater Memphis Chapter Members,
“Blacks In Government is mandated to promote equity, excellence and opportunity through employee advocacy, professional development and empowerment of African-Americans and others dedicated to justice and equity at all levels of government.”
Each of your participation is important to accomplish this mandate, and I challenge you to help in fulfilling this mission of “Blacks In Government” in this Greater Memphis Chapter. It takes all of us to carry this awesome purpose of this great Organization.
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same”, says Nelson Mandela.
