WELCOME

Circle of Friends (COF) is the brainchild of a group of Washingtonians who had the vision to bring together an extended network of friends and contemporaries for an annual celebration of fellowship and networking. Over it's fifteen-year history, COF has become the premier social network of African American professionals in the District of Columbia. It's reach includes an expansive network of 1,000+ professionals from every industry who come together to network, give back and celebrate! As COF commences its 15th Annual, partnerships with businesses and sponsors are being sought to increase COF's philanthropic impact and expand upon COF's influence in the community. COF is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Our highly anticipated two-part annual event takes place over Thanksgiving weekend, offering an exclusive and elegant celebration. For 15 years, COF has hosted this signature event at some of D.C.'s most iconic venues, such as The Mandarin Oriental, The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, The Howard Theater, La Vie, The Conrad Hotel, and Takoma Station Tavern. COF events have also been highlighted in Washington Life Magazine, The Washington Post, The Root, and DC’s Social Sightings. This year promises a weekend filled with sophistication, fun, and decorum. Please note, this invitation-only event is exclusive, and invitations are non-transferable.

As we prepare for COF's 15th annual celebration, we are actively seeking partnerships with businesses and sponsors to expand our philanthropic efforts and broaden COF's impact on the community.
