Virtual Auditorium

YP Leads | Tuesday, Sept. 28

Young Professionals LEAD Leadership. Entrepreneurship. Advocacy. Personal and Professional Development. The National Urban League, through its affiliate network, educates, develops, and prepares millennials and GenXers for future leadership roles as community advocates and affiliate volunteers. The National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP) offers opportunities for these emerging leaders to participate in professional development programs, philanthropy and civic engagement. The YP L.E.A.D. is a training ground for emerging leaders. Each year it attracts Urban League young professionals, HBCU alumni, and members of black fraternities, sororities and professional associations. The event will engage an additional 2 million+ young professionals through social media and e-mail. As a partner, the events provide quality opportunities for your company executives to network with the young professionals.

Many small business successes begin as a viable side hustle. More often, though, the demands of balancing a 9-5 gig with launching a new venture are too much. You can lose one- or both! The difference between side hustle success and failure boils down to preparation. This masterclass puts you in control of your destiny, providing in-depth, self-assessment tools, best-practices for new businesses, and a comprehensive review of potential pitfalls when transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship. Get ready to pivot from side hustle to sustainable business with panelists who know the terrain.
