NAACP Culpeper members Steven A. Jones, Sr., and Cindy Taylor recently attended the Virginia State Conference 90th annual convention in Richmond. Both members attended workshops addressing issues such as law enforcement, fair housing, and branch financial tracking, as well as important plenary sessions and the annual Freedom Fund Gala. Gala attendees were thrilled to enjoy a keynote speech by national NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson.
Steven and Cindy also had an opportunity to meet with our next governor, Abigail Spanberger, and several other legislators. Both attendees made important connections with representatives from other branches and the state conference, and were especially encouraged by the tremendous turnout of youth leadership from colleges and universities (and high schools!) from across the commonwealth.
A full report will be posted soon!
