Robyn Lake Hamilton, president and CEO of Urban League of the Central Carolinas, wants the organization to have a bigger voice in addressing Charlotte’s issues.

“The Urban League should be the organization that leads the discussion on tough issues that impact our community,” Hamilton told QCity Metro. “We want to be more of a player in advocacy and policy. We want to be an economic development partner in Charlotte’s growth.”

Hamilton was appointed to lead the organization on an interim basis in December 2022 after the departure of Teddy McDaniel, the previous president and CEO. She accepted the permanent role in May.

The Urban League is a nonprofit organization that provides underserved communities with resources and job training. Hamilton said she believes the local Urban League can do more through collaboration with city leaders.
