Yesterday, November 10th ya boy Bfree Paparazzi went to check out what's going on with the Urban League Young Professionals. The meeting took place at Urban League Headquarters, 3701 Grandel Square at 6pm.
.
I was pretty informative and a very network friendly. I arrived a little after 6pm and was ushered into a board room and given the break down of the organization, its history, purpose, and key points. New Memember orientation last about 8mins and it was off to do a little networking. They provided some pizza and juice/soda (sooooo bad but soooo good). After the meet & greet chit chat was done they started w/ a message from the president (Ms Kira Van Niel), followed up with info on what the Urban League was doing on national front.
.
We were then introduced to various speakers, recieved information from/about the Black Repertory Theater, learned a little bit about saving some money from the guest speakers from US Banks and to close they offered up a panel discussion w/ the "Young Leaders Panel". This panel consisted of Alderman Antonio French (21st Ward, cool brother), Alderwoman Kacie Starr Triplett (6th ward, super passion sister), and Patrick Brown Policy assistant for the City of St. Louis under Mayor Francis Slay (very insightful brother)..
.
This meeting was a virtual who's who of young executives... Boeing, A.B., Unitedway, Wells Fargo, Edwards Jones, At&t, and the list goes on. If you're interested in giving back, networking, personal growth, professional development, or just chilling and want to know what the "Go Getters" are up to... you should definitely check it out!!
