President's Greeting

Dear Partners,

We are excited to partner with you again to host the 2017 National Urban League Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, July 25 to 29. In collaboration with our 88 Urban League affiliates, board members, volunteers and others who share our mission, and with your support, we will have another successful conference that focuses on the pressing issues impacting people of color and underserved communities.

As the theme Save Our Cities: Education, Jobs & Justice indicates, the conference will highlight our work as we invite a number of influencers, thought leaders and emerging leaders to confront the pressing issues of social and economic inequality. The Annual Conference is one of the key opportunities we have to demonstrate the advocacy, policies and programs in which we are engaged to help to create economic and social opportunities and end injustice and inequality.

How can we address these challenges? Your continued partnership is vital to shaping the future of the communities that we serve. The support that we receive from your corporation and others will make it possible for us to strengthen our advocacy and programs to make a difference in the lives of the disenfranchised and marginalized,  and in underserved communities across the country.

This guide features all of the opportunities at the conference for you to engage the leadership, members, emerging leaders and partners of the National Urban League. 

We invite you to join us at the conference and continue to show your support and commitment to improving the lives of African Americans and other underserved citizens. We look forward to seeing you in St. Louis in July 2017.

Sincerely,

Marc H. Morial
President  & CEO
