Joint Center President to Step Down

Article (Black Enterprise)

Eddie Williams, president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies for 32 years, will step down in December. He has built a think tank that is the world go-to place for anyone who has questions about issues related to black Americans, and pioneered polling of our opinions. Under his leadership, JCPES has grown from 7 staffers and a $400,000 annual budget, to 43 employees, an annual budget of $6 million and an endowment of $6 million+. Many of the stats you see on this website's left margins are from JCPES.
