“I’m looking forward to trying to do my best to revitalize the Urban League and put it back into a place of doing strictly Urban League business,” Brown said.
“My goal is to build up the sustainability of the Urban League and make it to where we don’t have to depend on soliciting grants and others all the time,” Brown said. “I want to make sure we open up the communication lines and everyone knows the actual workings — I want to make the Urban League a glass house. If people have doubts, come on in and see me.” Herald Bulliten 772011
