The Minority Caucus is responsible for recommending and developing education and networking programs as well as other activities of special interest to members of color in the Association. The Caucus helps to develop programs to stimulate minority membership and participation in leadership roles. The Caucus also actively seeks to work on joint programs with other AAJ Sections and special interest groups.

The 1st Minority Caucus Party -----Phenomenal!

The Minority Caucus Party in Philly was phenomenal! The event took place at The African American Museum in downtown Philly and was attended by many. Not only did you get a history lesson, but you also enjoyed fabulous food, drinks and a live band. Take a look at some of the pictures that will be the foundation of more things to come from the Minority Caucus!!

Special thanks to Rhonda Hill Wilson, Bernard Smalley and Gina Spear!!
