It’s no secret that the National Urban League Annual Conference is one of the most highly-attended gatherings of community leaders and change makers in the country. What set this year’s conference apart from those in years past, is the call to action for our attendees, our Urban Leaguers, our partners, and our nation, to get to equal.
The conference kicked off Wednesday, July 25th at the Eastern Star Baptist Church in Indianapolis with our annual State of the Urban League Address. The evening began with welcomes from our Board Chair, Michael Neidorff, and the CEO of the Indianapolis Urban League Tony Mason. The greetings were followed by Grammy award-nominated gospel artist, Vashawn Mitchell, who prepared the hearts of our attendees for evening with hit singles “Joy” and “Nobody Greater.”
