Build. Promote. Inspire.

Coalition of Black Excellence Mission

Unify and elevate the Black community by marshalling talented Black professionals for one week to share our varied expertise, improve our

careers and uplift our community.

Bridging Gaps: Bay Area Black Community

● Socio-Economic Gap. Creating affordable programming and providing a space for community members to connect with corporate employees to collectively strategize on how to have a positive impact on the Black community as a whole.

● Professional Gap. Connecting Black professionals across sectors in order to foster community, expand professional networks, and exchange business opportunities.

● Generational Gap. Providing a space for seasoned Black professionals (over 40) to connect and share best practices with young professionals (under 40).

CBE Week is bridging gaps in the Black community in three ways.

2019 Program Events Thursday - Saturday will occur in one location in San Francisco to maximize opportunities for Black professionals to interact and build community.
