From October 10th through the 13th, I had the pleasure of attending my first Whitney M. Young, Jr. Urban Leadership Conference representing the Rhode Island Young Professionals (RIYP). The conference was hosted by the National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP). RIYP is one of over 60 chapters that are part of NULYP. I currently serve as the membership chair/social media coordinator for RIYP and am also a part of the national membership committee. This year's theme, Project Lead: Advancing Our Future was packed with outstanding workshops, world-class speakers, exceptional networking, and fun events. Read on to learn more about my experience at this great event!
