Public Policy Committee: Chaired by Denise Ridley

The committee focuses on the local, state and national political areas, through voter education, registration and research. Public Policy also encourages the membership and others to become actively involved in the political process on every level. We also discuss and develop legislative letters, position papers and policy alerts, and host local candidates’ forum. Members attend local and national conferences such as, but not limited to, The Black Women’s Agenda, Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., National NCBW 100 Annual Legislative Days in Washington, D.C. and the New Jersey Black Issues Conference.
