Stumpf Named to Urban League Board
HARAHAN, LA (May 20, 2008) –
The Urban League of Greater New Orleans recently announced the appointment of Dana Stumpf to its Board of Directors.
Stumpf is the President of New Orleans’s Gentilly Landfill, which is operated by the AMID/Metro Partnership, LLC.
In 1910, the National Urban League was founded to champion basic human rights for African Americans in this country. During this era, rights such as voting, equal education, housing and fair employment were institutionally denied to people of color in our society.
Today, there are 105 Urban League affiliates throughout the country. Through advocacy, community organization and mobilization, program services in areas of education, economic development, employment and training, youth services and child/family support, the League's mission of helping individuals to attain economic self-sufficiency remains virtually unchanged.
The mission of the Urban League is to empower communities and to help change lives. The Urban League is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian, community based organization and a participating agency of the United Way of Greater New Orleans.“I feel honored to be a part of such a worthwhile organization and I look forward to helping make a difference in our community,” Stumpf said.
Stumpf’s nomination was approved by unanimous vote at the Board’s March meeting. She began service in May 2008.
