We’re celebrating how the private investment industry is growing businesses and supporting jobs across America, including in every district represented by a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Private equity has invested over $651B in investments in CBC member states and districts since 2019, which has supported over 2.8 million jobs and limitless small business growth.

Join us for music, drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a panel conversation about how private investment supports jobs, strengthens pensions, and helps build the brands that Americans know and love.
