The Southland Regional Mayoral Black Caucus (SRMBC) is a powerful and unified organization dedicated to shaping public policy and advocating for minority municipalities across Cook and Will Counties and throughout the Chicago Southland region.

As a collaborative network of Mayors, SRMBC is committed to educating local elected officials on leadership, governance, legislation, and vital resources. Through strategic partnerships, we function as a centralized clearinghouse, acquiring essential funding, programs, opportunities, and information to support families throughout their lifelong journey—from birth to senior years.

SRMBC actively promotes civic engagement, workforce development, job training, education, healthcare, benevolent assistance, and wraparound services. We strengthen leadership and advance economic empowerment to uplift underserved and socially disadvantaged communities.

As an established nonprofit, SRMBC remains dedicated to addressing the critical challenges facing municipalities within the Chicago South Suburban Region of Illinois, ensuring progress, equity, and opportunity for all.
