Greetings Agency Point of Contact,

The planning is underway for our Blacks In Government (BIG) 2023 Annual National Training Institute (NTI) in Oxon Hill, Maryland. This letter serves as a formal invitation for your agency to present a forum as part of the NTI’s Agency Forums Program (AFP). The NTI will be held during the week of August 28-31-, 2023. This year’s conference theme is “Accept the Challenge, Exceed the Standard through Professional Development”

The BIG NTI is widely recognized as one of the most effective training experiences available to both public and private sector employees. Training is offered in a wide range of timely subjects that are informative and relevant to current trends and initiatives affecting job performance.

The AFP is executed during the first two days of the NTI:
