2010 Nominating Committee INTERVIEW
Thursday, October 14, 2010
Interviewers: Mary Glass – Secretary
George Hooper – 2010 Nominating Committee Member
Witness/Consent Signer: Ruth Zubrensky – NAACP Member
Welcome!
In order to make the Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP the leader it should be in the Midwest and the nation, we must have strong, transparent, committed, accountable and state-of-the-art/world leadership.
The City of Milwaukee has many deplorable labels; some true and some not so true.
For sure, it is a Concentrated Poverty city. Recently, it ranked as the 4th poorest in the nation – trailing Detroit, MI and Buffalo, NY. The good news is: it has many avenues of growth, if we put in place a strong civil and human rights group with a focus on quality-of-life, economic development and legal redress. Thus, a huge opportunity is available for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People – Milwaukee Branch.
At a time when the state of Wisconsin is electing its next governor, from Milwaukee (mayor or county executive), we are out of the loop with “paralysis of the membership”.
George and I not only welcome you, but commend you on your step forward to make a difference during this period of challenge.
We have scheduled October 14-15, 2010 as dates of Interviews for the 2010 Slate of Offices for the Milwaukee Branch of NAACP.
We embrace the paradigm of economic change for Milwaukeeans and Wisconsinites in Milwaukee County.
