Message From Our President and CEO Dear Friends, Thirty-five years brings a lot of history and we know at the Urban League that through the many programs, staff, and volunteers funded by your generous donations and grants that we have had a HISTORY OF IMPACT that changes lives every day. But like any person or entity – no one wants to be just recorded in HISTORY, we all desire to leave a LEGACY – we want to leave something significant behind to say we were here. For the Urban League we want to leave behind with each family, youth or adult that we touch a LEGACY OF EMPOWERMENT. More than anything else, the LEGACY is pronounced when we inspire the individuals, families and communities we serve to be conductors of their own orchestra. We believe with your continued and growing support, building on our history and leaving a legacy is more than possible! Like the National Office, we too celebrate a milestone in our history – 2010 marks thirty-five years of community service for the Urban League of Broward County. This is the year that we will increase our visibility as the “convening authority” on issues that affect urban areas of Broward; it is the year that we will break ground on a facility that will expand our programs and services in the key areas of: youth development/education, housing, workforce development and health; it is a year where we plan to exploit (in a good way) our core partnerships to question, challenge, and innovate. To do this, we know that it will take the entire community working together towards the mission of achieving social and economic equality for all. So I need you to MEET ME AT THE MISSION by signing on to our pledge. We believe with your continued and growing support, and building on our history, we can strengthen the programs and services that address the needs of our community in the areas of education, employment, housing and health. Best Wishes, |
