State Officials Break New Ground in
Biloxi
More than 20 African American state legislators and leaders from across
the south gathered on December 3 at the inaugural CPA-sponsored Community
Policy Forum in Biloxi, Mississippi, to fine-tune their leadership skills
and look for creative problem-solving techniques.
Participants examined how to effectively use the media to communicate
progressive ideas and agendas by critiquing their own on-camera interviews
and developing talking points and messages.
Legislators pledged support for multi-state introduction of model
community development legislation which aims to combine public partnerships with
private investment as a way to expand entrepreneurial efforts in these needy
communities. To obtain a copy of the model community development
legislation, call CPA.
