Attire
Along the wide spectrum which delineates the dress code, Business Casual falls directly between Business Attire (full suits) and Casual Wear (jeans, t-shirts, etc.).
This particular style of dress is being introduced into many business environments because, while it does allow for a fair level of comfort, it still maintains a climate of professionalism. We are requesting that our conference participants observe a Business Casual style of dress throughout the Plenary Sessions and Workshops so that we all convey - as ambassadors of our particular organizations, our respective institutions and the larger African American community - the seriousness with which we take our personal and professional development.
