In the year 2000, the CBA adopted the promotional tagline of “Informing, Educating, Empowering” that captured its proactive mission to provide and foster more information, education, and empowerment for and on behalf of the need of the Caribbean-American Community in Florida and beyond.
The CBA has embarked on numerous community service activities including but not limited to: conducting various citizenship and voter’s registration drives, fostering a communicative partnership with the local Caribbean Consular Corps, participating in numerous local, statewide and international town hall meetings and establishing a Scholarship Fund through its Annual Banquet in support of the Florida Caribbean Students Association.
