Mission

The National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL) primary mission is to develop, conduct and promote educational, research and training programs designed to enhance the effectiveness of its members, as they consider legislation and issues of public policy which impact, either directly or indirectly upon "the general welfare" of African American constituents within their respective jurisdictions.

Objective

In support of its mission, NBCSL has adopted the following fundamental objectives:

1. To serve as a national network and clearinghouse for the discussion, dissemination, and exchange of ideas and information among African American state legislators and their staffs;
2. To provide research, training, and educational services to African American state legislators and their staff.
3. To improve the effectiveness and quality of African American state legislators; and
4. To serve as a strong, united, and effective advocate for African American state legislators and their constituencies at the federal level.
