2022 PRESIDENTIAL THEME AND PRESIDENTIAL PRIORITIES
BIG is still on the move! BIG is still relevant! And, not even a pandemic
BLACKS IN GOVERNMENT ®️NATIONAL CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP PACKET 2022
could prevent us from moving forward the mission of our Blacks In
Government organization. After a magnificently productive 2021, I am
excited for what 2022 has in store. If nothing else, BIG has shown
throughout the pandemic that we know how to turn lemons into
lemonade.
To that end, I have established the following theme for our efforts in 2022:
Think BIG, Now Think Bigger!
And, the focus of that theme is growth, growth, and more growth.
Accordingly, I have established the following Presidential Priorities:
Increasing BIG’s visibility
Increasing BIG’s connections
Increasing agency partnerships
Increasing memberships across all 11 Regions
Increasing NTI attendance
As you can see, the emphasis is on increase. Importantly, as we continue
to grow, we become a better partner for you, our corporate sponsors. And,
that is very important to me personally i.e. that we be a great partner for
you and that we have a mutually beneficial relationship. To that end, I look
forward to connecting with all of you to discuss our plans for 2022, how
we can connect with you on our national efforts, and indeed how we can
best connect you with our members who are the ultimate beneficiaries of
the relationship. Onwards and upwards!

responsibility; adverse actions; awards; merit pay; and disciplinary actions. Also, in line with
BIG’s strategic plan, one of BIG’s AE/EEO program goals is to eliminate practices of racism and
racial discrimination against Blacks In Government. In re-energizing BIG’s AE/EEO program, we
are establishing a process to assist (1) individuals seeking relief from discrimination in the
workplace and (2) groups of employees within specific agencies who are experiencing
discrimination in the workplace. Both processes will provide documentary evidence of adverse
impact and disparate treatment which will enhance BIG’s meeting with agency management
officials to point out practices of racism and racial discrimination against Blacks (and other
minorities) in government and offer solutions to eliminate unfair practices as stated in our
strategic plan. In addition, BIG members will be trained as Complaint Advisors to provide
advice and assistance to government employees. The Complaint Advisors will support the
entire AE/EEO program.
ATTORNEY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (AAP)
BIG gives $2,500 grants to BIG members that have filed employment discrimination claims
based on race. The grants are only repayable if the member wins his or her case.

claims.
