The organization inducted members of its new executive committee, which included AULYP President Travis Townsend Jr. and Vice President Ciji Tatum, along with other officers and committee chairs.
For many attendees, it was their first time attending an AULYP meeting. Immediately following the program, a committee fair was conducted to allow people to learn more about and join the organization’s several committees.
Townsend unveiled a host of new initiatives for AULYP, which included changes to meetings to allow more member involvement. This year, AULYP members will receive discounts at a number of businesses, which in turn will benefit from the increased patronage. Also, an AULYP community service task force will be formed to further support Atlanta Urban League programs. In addition, Townsend announced plans to expand AULYP’s annual entrepreneur boot camp event in support of entrepreneurs.
Meeting attendees also had the honor of hearing from Nancy Flake Johnson, Atlanta Urban League president, who introduced attendees to the Urban League community and its array of programs that she urged them to get involved in.
“Our movement today is just as important as it was 100 years ago,” said Johnson.
Please join AULYP at our February Personal and Professional Development meeting. Location details will be announced soon.

I enjoyed the informative meeting, and as a result joined the AULYP at this meeting. This organization is attractive because it presents opportunity to improve our community through economic and educational empowerment. I look forward to a long relationship with the organization and hope to help execute on the initiatives set forth by leadership.
