Membership in NBCSL not only fuels our collective voice as we consider issues affecting African Americans and other marginalized communities, it makes us stronger as legislators. As African-American legislators, we have the challenge of a dual role—we must advocate for the concerns of people of color while simultaneously representing mainstream and other unique constituencies. Thus, NBCSL offers numerous opportunities and resources designed to help legislators grow their networks, stay abreast of critical news and policy issues, enhance their skills, and maximize their legislative effectiveness and tenures.
