Message From Our President and CEO Dear Friends, Welcome to the Urban League of Broward County! I am so proud to serve as the President and CEO of this amazing organization. This year marks a milestone for the Urban League – it is the year that the National Urban League is celebrates 100 remarkable years of service to our youth, communities and nation. Like the National Office, we too celebrate a milestone in our history – 2010 marks 35 years of community service for the Broward County Urban League. 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. 35 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 a 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! Best Wishes, |
