African American
Legacy Project’s Emerging Leaders Facilitates “A
Conversation Amongst Leaders”
By Robert Smith, CEO AALP
The African American Legacy Project of Northwest Ohio’s
Emerging Leaders Class of 2013 is hosting “A
Conversation Amongst Leaders” a roundtable discussion,
on Friday, October 3, 2014, from 11:30 a.m.-1:00
p.m., at The Toledo Club. Brunch will be
served and there is no cost for the special guests
including past and present African American Honorees and
Emerging Leaders.
This event is a precursor to The AALP’s 2014 Legacy
Weekend. Along with a panel of past AALP Honorees and
Emerging Leaders, this is an opportunity for leaders to
participate in meaningful dialogue, exchange ideas and
create opportunities for continued growth and interactions
among generations of leaders within the African-American
community.
The AALP pledges to stimulate the intellectual,
socioeconomic and participatory growth in communities
wherein African Americans reside.
The mission of the 2013 Emerging Leaders is to convene the
group to discuss the imperative of bridging the gap between
generations of leaders and evoking sustainable community
interaction among community leadership.
Organizers and members of
the Emerging Leaders Class of 2013 are Hope Bland, PhD.,
Rodney Eason, Joshua Peterson, Alicia Smith, Keith Jordan,
William Pierce, Kenyetta Jones and Mérida Allen.
Unveiled in 2004, the
African American Legacy Project (AALP) of Northwest Ohio, (a
501(c)(3) organization, has been documenting and preserving
the history of northwest Ohio's African-American community
and its impact and influence far beyond Ohio's borders.
This year marks The African American Legacy Project’s 10th
Anniversary. The 2014 Legend’s Weekend, October 3-4th,
is bound to be another sell-out event. The theme is 10 years
Celebrating Community. The 2014 Emerging Leaders class will
be recognized on Friday, October 3rd at 5:30 p.m.
at The Toledo Club at the Hospitality Reception. The 2014
Legends Honorees will be celebrated at the Legends Luncheon
on Saturday, October 4th, 11:30 a.m. at the
Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg, OH. Tickets for the
Reception are $25 and the Luncheon is $50. Tickets for both
events can be purchased by contacting AALP by phone: +1 419
