It was great speaking with Imani and Austin, two outstanding Urban Alliance Obama Youth Jobs Corps students. They’re proof that when we connect young people with training and meaningful work experience, it benefits our communities and the world.
On 10/13, I had my last event as CEO of Urban Alliance I emceed its 25th anniversary and met President Barack Obama. Through Dec, I'll be Senior Advisor at UA, & then on to my next adventure. Thank you Urban Alliance for a wonderful experience!
