Camille here, blogging from DC. The politics, the parties, and the people. Lots to do and lots to see!
The 39th annual Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference is under way in Washington, DC for the next 3 days, and yours truly will be blogging about all the interesting topics of benefit to young professionals in Sacramento and around the country.
This is my 3rd annual trip to DC for this event and it has been much anticipated!

If there are any of interest to you, let me know and I'll grab so info and some notes for you!
For those not familiar with this Conference, here's a little more information for you:
"The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation each year produces the Annual Legislative Conference, a four-day event held in September at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
Thousands of elected officials, business and industry leaders, celebrities, media, emerging leaders and everyday Americans descended upon the Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) and its dozens of policy forums, general sessions, massive exhibit showcase, job fair, book signings and vast networking opportunities."
