GENERAL MEETING – OPEN TO ALL

Black Men United is comprised of black men and those who support black men. Members are those who participate in the organization’s activities; live, work, and serve in the organization’s community; advocate for justice on behalf of the organization’s community; and seek to give voice to those without voice. Members are people of faith, clergy, and representatives of diverse, non-profit and community organizations.

Based in San Diego’s 4th Council District, Black Men United’s community is African-American people, African immigrants, American Indian, Latino, and others who, by experience, consciousness and culture, empathize with the black experience.

Black Men United’s vision is to serve as a unifying, empowering and moral influence in its community.

Black Men United’s purpose is convene, guide and galvanize black men (and those who support black men) to enable and empower its members and its community to address their relevant spiritual, individual, interpersonal, societal needs.

Black Men United’s activities and achievements reflect a commitment to faith, constancy, individual and community development, justice, and inclusion. Much of BMU’s work is accomplished through its Committees.

About this Event
The NEA was founded in 1969 as the Caucus of Black Economists to promote the professional lives of minorities within the profession. In addition to continuing its founding mission, the organization is particularly interested in producing and distributing knowledge of economic issues that are of exceptional interest to promoting economic growth among native and immigrant African Americans, Latinos, and other people of color.

Over the years, NEA has honored several distinguished African American economists through the Samuel Z. Westerfield Award for an exemplary record of scholarship, teaching, and public service. Through the Rhonda M. Williams Doctoral Dissertation Award, the NEA has recognized outstanding doctoral dissertations written by African-American candidates of color- writing on economic, public policy, or political topics related to the NEA mission. Under the Sir Arthur Lewis Memorial Lecture, the NEA has recognized an economist who has produced seminal research on economic development or made a significant contribution to economic development or international trade.

In addition to recognizing scholarly contributions, the NEA recognizes members who have performed exceptional service to the organization through the Alfred Edwards Award for Service to the National Economic Association. At this anniversary, we will be honoring our founding members.
