Congratulations to the 2nd Annual...
YP Honors Awardees!

 

 

In 2016, the first class of NULYP Honors was named. 30 dynamic young professionals across the country were recognized at the National Urban League Annual Conference - YP LEADS Summit. In 2017, the program became even more exclusive, recognizing 10 outstanding young professionals who exemplify the National Urban League mission through their professional and personal contributions to community and service.

 

NULYP Honors award recipients receive a package that includes registration to the National Urban League Annual Conference in St. Louis, MO, as well as full travel and hotel accommodations.

 

This class of YP Honors recipients represent a diverse field of industries and backgrounds, but share the common value of excellence in service. NULYP will celebrate them at our annual Awards Luncheon, which also showcases our top chapters and leaders within the Movement..
