Participants in the prestigious Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) Internship Program attended a reception held at New York Life Insurance Company on Friday, July 13, 2007. At the reception, interns asked a panel of young African-American executives from New York Life questions about their personal and work-related achievements. Seven of this year's 41 selected interns are pictured with the event's moderator and senior executive from New York Life Investment Management, LLC and a representative from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.
