The GATHERING
Learn together. Grow together.

Charging Our Connections
There are more details to come and opportunities to contribute to designing The Gathering. Imagine charging our Connections, appreciating the similarities and differences of our experiences as the “first or few”; not intending to be “the last or only”; and uncovering the Connections between our self-identities as Persons of Color!
Empowering Our Conversations
Rather than keynote speakers, imagine facilitators shaping deep and stimulating Conversations around areas like:
-
The dynamics of similarities when you get to coach or lead someone who looks like you
-
Responding to the charge of an African proverb, “until the lion learns how to write, the stories will always favor the hunter’ by intentionally researching and publishing more
-
Building our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how – What foundations will build your business to last and make a difference
-
Eyes and Ears Wide Open – How Traditions and Trends Impact Achieving Our Missions
“We come together because it is good for kin[folk] to do so.”
– Chinua Achebe, Author of 'Things Fall Apart'
Building Our Commitments
The Gathering is intended to add to your journey. Through your attendance, you further your professional commitments by participating in round-robin style exchanges that focus on:
​​
-
Offering support and resources to others
-
Sharing your needs to build a larger conversation
-
Asking your questions and finding answers
-
Exchanging industry insights with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and demographics
-
Providing personal testimonials
Unlike traditional conferences focused on panel discussions, the CP-OC annual conference encourages group discussion and the exchange of information.
