“Informing the Young Professional”

National Urban League 2008 Annual Convention:

Get, Grow, Go! by Tealeda Nesbitt On July 30, 2008, the National Urban League held its 98th annual conference themed Get, Grow, Go! in Orlando, Florida. The four day event hosted over 20 workshops ranging from health and wellness, civil rights enforcement, to education reform, career development and entrepreneurship. Twelve mem-bers of the NYULYP converged in Florida to Get information needed to Grow the required resources to Go and obtain business opportunities, secure jobs and homes, and empower their communities.

The conference started with a bang: the Metropolitan Orlando Urban League welcomed guests to their home with an African styled opening ceremony fit for young, professional royalty entitled Coming to Orlando. However, most notably, presidential

candidates Senators John McCain and Barack Obama addressed the National Urban League, explained their platforms and answered poi-gnant questions. Both men agreed, if elected, to host the NUL Confer-ence at the White House and work with the League to achieve the goals of its Opportunity Compact: Thrive, Earn, Own and Prosper.

The conference wasn’t all business; YPers found time to have to fun. In between workshops, business meet-ings and luncheons, attendees mingled with other young professionals and stuffed gift bags with goodies at the Exhibit Hall. NYULYP Membership Committee Chair Kameelah Dixon

won two round trip airline tickets for participating in a networking game. And, every evening, YPers “got their dance on” at the YP after parties.

Overall, the conference was a success, agree NYULYP President Quiviya El-dridge and member Daniella Johnson. “This year’s theme “Get, Grow, Go!” reinforced the idea that we should leave the conference more committed to the movement by what we have learned and discussed,” says Eldridge. “The NYU-LYP have streamlined our focus and we are putting all of our efforts where we can be the most effective: Educational and Financial Empowerment for our youth.”

NYULYP Family,

We are well into our fifth year of existence as a Young Professional chapter and we are making strides towards our goal of effecting real, measurable change in New York City. Normally, the summer is a very slow and quiet time for YP, but June, July and August 2008 were full of activities: The Executive Board spent a weekend working on Board Development at our Annual Planning Retreat in June, ensuring that we were all on the same accord as it pertained to our planning for the year. In July, we attended the National Urban League Conference in Orlando Florida. In August, we began voter registration, and hosted our first social of the year to introduce the new Board, the proceeds from which went to our 3rd Annual Back-to-School Supplies Drive. We have been quite busy!

We are steadily building on this momentum—we will have our stan-dard programming again this year: Financial Literacy Seminars, Per-sonal and Professional Development Series (PPDs), Town Hall Meetings, the 22nd Annual HBCU Fair and a host of Community Service activities, but additionally, we are cementing our relationships with some new partners to create even more impactful services for our youth. We are, by no means, where we want to be as an organization, but I am amazed by how far we have come.

You are the driving force behind the movement. To borrow a phrase from a good friend, your “manpower, brainpower and willpower” propel us towards achievement. I look forward to the fruits of our labor.

Yours in the Movement,Quiviya EldridgePresident

Fundraising Tipsby Taghira Herrar

Fundraising is important to every cause whether social or political. Without the efforts of volunteer fund-raisers, many causes and campaigns would not be able to survive. One of our very own YP members, Teneshia Clarke, through her philanthropic efforts has shown us that we all can make a difference in the lives of many through volunteer fundraising.

Clarke, a conversion analyst for Citigroup, was able to raise an astonishing $2,230 for the AIDS Walk 2008. Although not a professional philanthropist, it is obvious that Clarke has a natural gift for fundraising as well as a big heart. When asked how she was able to raise such a large amount she said, “AIDS is a disease that does not discrimi-nate; it affects every age, race, religion and culture, so fundraising for this cause wasn’t difficult. I was able to raise $2,230 by just asking any and everybody to help. The worst thing that could happen is that they say no. And every no brings you closer to the person that will say yes! But in general people are willing to help where they can.”

Clarke will continue in her fundraising efforts by participating in the Walk for Diabetes on October 26th. She is also on the event planning committee, assisting to secure corporate sponsorships for The Urban Dove, a New York City based organization whose mission is to enrich the lives of at risk youth. Teneshia hopes to outdo her efforts by raising $3,000 for AIDS Walk 2009.

For those interested in fundraising she offers this advice, “Choose a cause/organization that you believe in, so the fundraising doesn’t seem as if it is chore. Also understand that people are going to say ‘no’, but you can’t let that deter you. Just keep on pressing on.” Let’s all be encouraged through Teneshia’s efforts and get involved in raising funds to serve others.

real estate Cornerby Sidney B. Joyner Good day to all members and readers of the Griot newsletter. My name is Sidney B. Joyner and I am the chairperson of the Civics & Economics Committee and a long-standing member of the New York Urban League Young Professionals. My vocation as a Vice President of Crosstown Realty, Inc. where I have focused on commercial brokerage and managing investment properties for over nine years.

I consulted with Althea Kitchens the editor of the Griot to write an article to bring our membership quality information on the topic of real estate in the greater New York metro area. I believe it is extremely important as a young professional of the New York Urban League that we volunteer to increase the knowledge and access to information of our membership. The need for the article grew out of the continued success of the annual Real Estate Seminar that the Civics & Economics Committee hosts.

You may ask yourself, how will this article benefit you as a member and reader? The objective of this article is to offer information not readily accessible to the busy young professional such as places you need to visit, New York area market information, answers to lingering questions and resources to help you climb the ladder of success in the real estate game.

Since I have a limited amount of space to address the readers I would like to offer some starter tips for members who are ready to buy in this market of opportunities. The importance of proper legal counsel is unbelievably crucial in this economic environment. If you want to purchase foreclosed properties or any property, arm yourself with a good team of professionals consisting of accountant/financial advisor and competent real estate broker. It will make all the difference in your success as a first time homebuyer. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to address you in this great forum and look forward to future feedback.

While some organizations took the summer off, the NYULYP was hard at work helping students prepare for the upcoming school year. The Community Service committee raised over $2,500 to benefit the after-school programs of the Drew Hamilton Learning Center in Harlem and the Highbridge Community Life Center in the Bronx. In addition to personal donations from YP members, families and friends, all proceeds from the summer social at the Sky Deck at Red Sky Bar were used to support this effort.

The fundraising drive culminated in a giveaway party for the children and program directors

on Saturday, August 23 in St. Nicholas Park in Harlem. The kids, who received their backpacks with smiling faces, modeled their new gear on a makeshift runway lined with cheering participants. The

YP wishes to extend its heartfelt thanks to Aramark, Staples, and Hello I Love You Entertainment, as well as the members, volunteers and supporters who made this year’s drive a success.

In April 2008, CNN aired a documentary on African Americans hosted by Soledad O’Brian entitled “Black’s in America.” The documentary’s subject matter spanned from the

time of Martin Luther King’s assassination in April of 1968 to the current lives of African descendents living in the United States today. “Black in America” covers a wide range of topics from the slave trade, African American accomplishments, education, racism against African Americans to poverty, interracial dating, hip hop culture, black women and black hair.

Akono Ekundayo (whose named has been changed) and Butch Warren are brothers who were raised in the same family. Yet Butch Warren became a high school superintendent while Akono entered the military and did time in prison. Akono regrets missing the opportunity to develop a bond with his adult daughter and his grandchild on the other hand Butch is accused

to raising his sons “too white.” April 4, 1968, was the day Dr. Martin Luther King

was assassinated. Students teased and taunted Butch and Akono about the death of the prominent leader. For both it is a difficult memory.

There are many real stories of Black realities covered in the Black in America series. Comedian D.L. Hughley tells of a time when his son was stopped by police on the way to run an errand in the neighborhood. Parents cover the topic with their sons in an attempt to educate them on what to do if stopped by a law enforcement officer.

The documentary is a strong effort to dispel the myths, discuss the statistics, and analyze the truths about life as an African American in the United States. Consequently, the New York Urban League continues to do its part to bridge the gaps by providing advocacy and services to alleviate poverty, achieve better education and support families.

The Path Buried Underby Kimberly ParrisThere is a path to freedom in the steps that we takeEnlightenment calls us with every breath we makeBut only if we are willing to accept our fateOnly through growth and change can we awake

To a positive place our paths may lead

If only the voices inside us we heed

Cast away the fears, plant a nurturing seed

Prepare to take flight, to grow, to be free…

When stubbornness controls the mind no good can come

From stone hearts to receptive minds we must run

Arms straightforward or to the sky, we reach for

Enlightenment and strength, but we must implore

That we do not hold anyone back from their journey

A new day is coming, of beauty and wonder

And soon we will discover

That the path we wish to take will be buried under…

If we do not believe ... Never forget to believe.

With an epic election just around the corner, there is a growing emphasis on mak-ing sure that the people in our communities are regis-tered to vote. Traditionally, in general elections, our community has shied away from voting for various rea-sons. Though the presiden-tial primary, dubbed “Super Tuesday”, has since come and gone, the deadline to register to vote for the gen-eral election, October 10, is rapidly approaching. In addition, those members of our community who are interested in voting for our local congressmen and city council people may not even realize that the deadline for registration in that com-ing primary has since past.

The fact remains that our community is rather mis-informed about the voting process in general, and, moreover, many members

of our community are not registered to vote. The New York Urban League Young Profes-sionals has always been on the forefront of issues that concern our com-munity. The lack of voter participation in elections is such an issue. With a growing recession, a war still raging overseas, and varying financial and health care concerns as the primary focus of our community, never has it been more impor-tant to get out and vote.

Voter Registration drives were held on August 7th at the Ailey in the Park event in Prospect Park, Au-gust 17th at Harlem Day, and on September 21st at the African American Day Parade. Informational pam-phlets on basic voting facts were created by Com-munity Service Com-

mittee members to ensure that accurate voting infor-mation was administered to the masses. The pam-phlet includes information on the different main po-litical parties at play, the importance of voting, and websites where potential

voters can obtain further information on the voting process. For additional info on the voting process and voting deadlines in New York State, visit the Board of Elections website at www.elections.state.ny.us.

Get TAYLOrmade No More New York“I have a pretty good job here in New York. Unfortunately, I’m tired of the hustle and bustle and I can’t afford to live here anymore. I want to relocate, but I don’t know where I want to go or how to go about finding a job. How do I start looking for a new job in a new city?”

- Ready to Move

Your desire to relocate is shared by many of today’s professionals. Studies find that 59% of employees are willing to relocate for a new job in another city and 44% prefer relo-cating to another state. While there are many reasons why employees choose to move: for a new job; the declining state of our economy seems to be the most significant rea-son for relocation. As the cost-of-living continues to increase, profes-sionals are seeking a break in more affordable, cost-efficient states. The top five states for relocation are Florida, California, Arizona, North Carolina and Colorado respectively. But before you turn in your resigna-tion letter, pack your bags and call the movers, there are certain things that you should do in order to en-sure a smooth transition.

Do your research. The last thing that you want to do is look for a job in a city that you might end up hating. Find out as much as you can about prospective cities such as facts about the cost of living, the education sys-tem, the nightlife, the seasonal cli-mate and the cultural diversity. Then list the pros and cons of each location and narrow your search down to your

top three choices. Visit web-sites such as Sterling’s Best Places www.bestplaces.net and www.findyourspot.com for rankings and statistics on various cities. Most im-portantly, plan to visit your city of choice for first-hand exposure.

Plan, Plan, Plan. Reloca-tion can be a very tedious and time-consuming ven-ture. The best way to pre-pare is to plan in advance. Once you’ve selected a city, you can’t just start sending out your resume and expect everything to fall into place. It’s best to map out when you plan to make the move; how much you can afford to spend; and when you plan to resign from your current po-sition. You must also determine whether or not you’ll be able to quit your current job before you have a new one and where you’ll live when you first move to the new city. Make a relocation budget, implement a strict savings plan and set time-spe-cific goals for your job-search and networking pursuits.

Upgrade Your Career Package. While many employers encourage relocation, there is still a large ma-jority that refuse to offer positions to out-of-town candidates. This makes the competition for relocation posi-tions very stiff. In order to increase your chances for selection (and may-be even an expense-paid relocation), it is extremely important to have a professionally created cover letter and resume. Your cover letter should briefly explain your desire for relo-

cation while your resume succinctly showcases your skills, accomplish-ments and areas of expertise. A sim-ple Word template isn’t good enough anymore. Consider contacting a pro-fessional resume writer in order to ensure that you are putting your best foot forward…even though you’re miles away.

Though a long-distance job search can be stressful and uncertain at times, the more prepared you are, the more likely you’ll be to land that dream job in your dream city. Good bye New York. Hello new start!

On September 13, the AULYP hosted the second annual Super Saturday event.

Each workshop was taught by an elected official or individual with extensive knowledge of local politics. The day began with a keynote speech by Georgia state senator Vincent Fortand. It concluded with a panel discussion featuring elected officials, media and pillars of the community including U.S. Congressman Hank Johnson, Clark Atlanta University professor William Boone, and community activists Joe Beasley and Markel Hutchins. This event was sponsored by WSB-TV Channel 2, Kennesaw State University, and Blue Boy Media. The AULYP won the Southern Region Excellence award at the 2008 National Urban League Conference.

Communications - In its second year in existence, the Communications Committee has accomplished a great deal and has many more goals to attain for the 2008-2009 fiscal year. With the establishment of our first e-newsletter, The Griot, and the management of internet marketing tools such as Blogspot, Facebook, and Myspace, the Communications team has directly reached out to well over 1,000 young professionals in cyber-space. This year the goal is to reach out to the communities in which we live and serve. We started the year off with the NYULYP Health Initiative: Historic Harlem Walking Tour that had a multipurpose of: getting our members better acquainted with the areas in which we service; familiarizing ourselves with one another, resi-dents and businesses; and keeping us healthy. If interested in joining, contact ypcommunications@nyul.org.

L e a r n m o r e a b o u t t h e y p C o m m i t t e e s

Membership - The Membership Committee will continue to focus on recruitment & renewal rates, with an emphasis on retention. As we look to solidify our membership at a solid 200 and above we will examine new methods of recruitment, including but not limited to, creating a feeder group. In addition, we will begin to develop programming that will prepare our membership for “The Movement” in an effort to equip our constituents with the skills needed to “Empower Communities & Change Lives.” The membership committee currently has five subcommittees of which any member can join. Committees are: town hall, personal & professional development, member orientation, prospectives and socials. If interested in joining, contact ypmembership@nyul.org.

Civics & Economics - The Civics and Economics Committee annually hosts two financial literacy events focused on educating and empowering our membership on diverse topics in the financial world, and a real estate seminar to keep young professionals in the area in contact with a variety of industry professionals. Currently in the realm of civics we are challenging our membership to become greater forces in the community by organizing and registering voters in all five boroughs. We encourage all members to come out and join the civics and economics committee and be a part of this great team. If interested in joining, contact ypcivicsecon@nyul.org.

Fund Development - This committee has been responsible for four years of signature events such as Brag-gin’ Rights and Rebirth! A major part of the NYULYP financial stability, the Fund Development committee hopes to establish a 50k fiscal campaign. We plan to meet that goal through corporate sponsorship, fundrais-ing events, and matching gifts. Any member with the ability and drive to accomplish these goals is encour-aged to join this team. If interested in joining contact ypfunddev@nyul.org.
