Congress (1986-1996) At the age of thirty-eight, he was decisively elected to the United States Congress to represent Maryland’s 7th District, a seat that he would hold for the next decade during the terms of Presidents Reagan, Bush Sr. and Clinton. As a member of the House of Representatives, Congressman Mfume was served on several committees. He served on the Banking and Financial Services Committee and held the ranking seat on the General Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. He also served as a member of the Committee on Education and helped to impact commerce and industry matters as a senior member of the Small Business Committee. While in his third term, he was chosen by the Speaker of the House to serve on the Ethics Committee and the Joint Economic Committee of the House and Senate where he was later elected Chairman.

Congressman Mfume consistently advocated landmark business and civil rights legislation. He successfully co-sponsored and helped to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act, strengthened the Equal Credit Opportunity Law and co-authored and successfully amended the Civil Rights Bill of 1991 to apply its provisions to U.S. citizens working for American-based companies abroad. He also sponsored legislative initiatives banning assault weapons and establishing stalking as a federal crime.

Congressman Mfume served as both Vice-Chair and later Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. He was regularly designated to preside as Speaker Pro Tempore of the House of Representatives. During his fifth term in office, he was appointed by his Caucus as Vice-Chairman for Communications.

NAACP Kweisi Mfume left his Congressional seat in 1996 to become President and Chief Executive Officer of the NAACP. During his nine years with the organization, he significantly raised the national profile of the NAACP while helping to restore its prominence among the nation’s civil rights organizations. Throughout his tenure he helped establish 75 new college-based NAACP chapters across the nation. In 2000, Mfume worked to negotiate, develop and author the first ever signed Network Television Diversity Agreements with NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox. In 2003, he helped negotiate for and successfully secured the NAACP’s official United Nations’ Status as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

Return to Congress Mfume was sworn-in into the 116th U.S. Congress on May 5, 2020, after winning a special election to fill the remainder of the term after Congressman Elijah Cummings, the incumbent representative (and his friend of 42 years), died in office in October 2019. Mfume currently serves on the House Oversight Committee and the Small Business Committee.

About the White House Initiative on HBCUs The Initiative works with agencies, private-sector employers, educational associations,

philanthropic organizations, and other partners to increase the capacity of HBCUs to provide the

highest-quality education to an increasing number of students.

Background and History

• In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed an executive order to distribute adequate resources

and funds to strengthen HBCUs.

• His executive order manifested the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and

Universities (Initiative).

• The office has been renewed by every administration through Executive Orders.

About the HBCU Interagency Working Group

The Interagency Working Group (IWG), comprised of representatives of federal agencies and

departments, is established to help advance and coordinate work throughout

the federal government to strengthen the capacity and competitiveness of HBCUs. The IWG is

chaired by the Executive Director of the Initiative and facilitated by the Initiative’s Intergovernmental

Relations Coordinator.

The IWG includes “liaisons,” the senior officials appointed by agency heads to provide overall

coordination with the Initiative, reporting directly to their secretary, administrator or commissioner

on progress made to implement the Order. These “liaisons” are the agency officials

of record, responsible for developing and accountable for executing against the agency plans.

In support of “liaisons,” also there are “representatives” who regularly participate in IWG meetings

and serve as the Initiative’s primary points of agency contact for the day-to-day, operational work of

the IWG.

The IWG is the backbone of federal government leadership to improve the capacity and

competitiveness of HBCUs.

Why HBCUs Should Contract With the Federal Government

• Federal contracts provide a sustainable revenue stream.

• Federal contracts can create more jobs on campus stimulating local economies and providingemployment opportunities for students.

• Depending on the type of contract awarded, additional student and faculty researchopportunities may help contribute to academic prestige.

• Public universities receive 43% of their revenues from grants, federal contracts, orappropriations on average, while HBCUs only receive approximately 1%.

https://sites.ed.gov/whhbcu/files/2020/02/2020-Federal-Agency-Partner-External-Directory.pdf

29

• Private gifts, grants, and contracts make up a smaller percentage of overall revenue forprivate HBCUs relative to their non-HBCU counterparts (17% versus 25%).

• Within both public and private sectors, HBCU endowments lag behind those of non-HBCUs byat least 70%; this gap jeopardizes an HBCU’s ability to buffer decreases in state and federalfunding.

Tips For Networking With Federal Agencies Government agency networking events are often an ideal way for Historically Black Colleges and

Universities to get their foot in the door with contracting officers and decision-makers. As most of

America continues to follow social distancing guidelines, these events have moved to virtual

platforms.

With the virtual platform you lose the intimidating factor of walking up to someone. However, it’s

important not to get too comfortable. Whether a networking session is in-person or virtual you still

must properly prepare and manage expectations in order to gain a competitive advantage. If you’ve

never attended one of these events, the following tips may be helpful.

• Come Prepared: Tailor your capability statement to the agency that you are meeting. Make

sure that the NAICS codes and capabilities match the agency’s needs. That will require doing

research in advance. Upload your capability statement when you register and have a copy

with you during the networking session.

• Establish Goals: Before attending, take the time to do your homework. Identify which

agencies will be in attendance and which decision-makers you want to meet. They are

attending these events with their own goals in mind, so try to consider what those might be

and what would be appealing to them. Once you know who will be participating, establish

your goals—what concrete results do you want to achieve during the encounter.

• Identify Specific Opportunities: Visit the agency’s website and review the procurement

forecasts so that you are aware of specific acquisition plans. It is better to use the networking

time discussing how your university’s capabilities can fulfill a specific need rather than making

broad statements about the school’s desire to pursue government contracts.

• Practice Your Talking Points: Some people call it the elevator speech. Time flies, and you may

not have enough time to explain your capabilities in detail. So, don’t start off with the history

of your institution. Cut to the chase. Give a quick 20 to 30-second elevator speech that gets to

the core of what you do. Try to include at least one differentiator—what’s one thing that sets

your institution apart and is easy to include in a quick talk? If you believe you can provide a

specific solution to the agency’s contracting needs, include it in your key talking points.

Federal Aviation Administration

Point-of-contact: Ronicsa Chambers HBCU Program Lead [email protected] (202) 570-2213


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Civil Rights, has been working diligently to create an awareness of HBCUs and the talents and resources it can potentially offer to the various lines of businesses within FAA, with the goal of establishing partnerships and/or contract procurement opportunities. The FAA is a forward-looking agency that along with its aviation partners, continues to research, explore, test and implement improvements to the nation’s airspace/aerospace system. The FAA invites and welcomes HBCUs to become a partner in this exciting venture, especially those that may have partnerships with the aviation industry or those that have access to resources (i.e. subject matter experts, simulators, computer modeling tools, etc.) that could support aviation related research studies.

Mr. Glenn A. Delgado is the associate administrator of NASA's Office of Small Business Programs and provides

executive leadership and policy direction for developing and implementing initiatives, that ensure all categories

of small businesses are afforded opportunities to compete for agency contracts.

NASA Mentor-Protégé Program

The NASA Mentor-Protégé Program encourages NASA prime contractors to assist eligible Protégés, thereby

enhancing the Protégés’ capabilities to perform on NASA contracts and subcontracts, fostering the

establishment of long-term business relationships between these entities and NASA prime contractors, and

increasing the overall number of these entities that receive NASA contract and subcontract awards. To date,

nine Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have participated in the program. For more

information: https://www.nasa.gov/osbp/mentor-protege-program.

The number of HBCUs with contract awards at the agency:

1 (Hampton University, awarded 2003 under an AO)

Contract opportunities for HBCUs:

• See NASA’s NSPIRES website for Announcements Of Opportunity https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/

• Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract awards https://sbir.nasa.gov/

• In 2021, NASA released its first-ever opportunity for Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to propose for

Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) research planning grants. Called M-STTR, the initiative aims

to foster partnerships between MSIs and small businesses to prepare them to submit technology

proposals to NASA’s annual STTR Phase I solicitation. https://www.nasa.gov/stem/murep/feature/nasa-
