Black scholars, researchers, practitioners, and activists are invited to showcase their individual and collective achievements in their respective disciplines. The theme of the annual meeting asks: What is your contribution to Black excellence? How individuals and groups tap into personal and collective power to overcome oppression and bias? How do individuals and communities mobilize to support Black excellence? What is the future of Black excellence locally, nationally, or globally? How do we support Black excellence so that it is visible and sustainable? How do we work across disciplinary silos to meaningfully address the complex challenges that affect Black people and our communities? Three conference tracks will guide our time together: Research and Scholarship; Personal and Professional Success; Black Activism.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EResearch and Scholarship\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EResearch and scholarship are the heart of knowledge creation and the generation of new and novel approaches to complex issues.
