Earlier this month, EH Automotive was proud to help sponsor the 8th Annual United Way African-American Partnership (AAP) Leadership Luncheon!
Two decades ago, Dr. Johnetta B. Cole, Conchita W. Robinson, and Charles Stephens came together with a shared vision to assemble African-American leaders dedicated to making a positive impact on the Greater Atlanta community. Today, that vision continues to thrive through the African-American Partnership (AAP) at United Way of Greater Atlanta.
The 8th Annual AAP Leadership Luncheon, held at The Delta Flight Museum on February 17th, provides an opportunity to delve into the challenges faced by attendees and their peers in the Greater Atlanta community. Those in attendance were able to discover the proactive steps AAP is taking to address these issues head-on, as well as take the initiative to get involved in AAP and be a catalyst for positive change. Award-winning actor, poet, musician, and spoken word artist Omari Hardwick was the featured guest for the evening, engaging with meaningful conversation on the topics at hand.
AAP is dedicated to investing in high-quality, year-round learning initiatives aimed at enhancing educational and career outcomes, aligning with their Child Well-Being Agenda. In addition to its focus on educational initiatives, AAP actively involves its members in volunteerism and advocacy, providing continuous opportunities for personal and professional development. With a membership exceeding 1,000 contributors who collectively donate over $2.6 million annually to the United Way of Greater Atlanta, your participation can unlock the potential of children, families, and communities.
For nearly 120 years, United Way of Greater Atlanta has been dedicated to serving our community. As one of the largest chapters within the United Way Worldwide network, comprising over 1,700 independent local chapters worldwide, United Way strives to make a positive impact on communities across the globe.
While Greater Atlanta is recognized as one of the most dynamic regions in the country, it faces significant challenges in fulfilling its potential, particularly in the area of income mobility. The region consistently ranks at the bottom of the list of metro areas in income mobility, presenting a formidable barrier to its future prosperity. Shockingly, children born in low-income households have a mere 4% chance of escaping poverty throughout their lifetime.
The United Way of Greater Atlanta mission is to transform these statistics so that every child, regardless of their birth circumstances, has the opportunity to unlock their potential and forge lives that sustain themselves, their families, and their communities.
