As the summer “break” sets in for YPO, I’m proud and grateful to reflect on the amazing FY 23-24 for YPO Manhattan. I’m deeply appreciative for a career that grows me professionally and personally, and most of all the people who push me towards that growth. Danielle Seltzer is a kind and passionate leader. Jessica Rovello is a patient and proactive mentor. My fellow regional Chapter leaders are incredible colleagues who empower me constantly - my “forum”. I have a lot of pinch-me moments in my role, but this year I got to celebrate my birthday in New Orleans, skate privately on Rockefeller Center during the holidays, return to Dublin for an amazing YPO Global CMW experience (with incredible hosting experience from Shane Carroll BBLAW,MBA, CIS), and go to batting practice with the Yankees, to name a few! Looking forward to kicking off another amazing YPO Manhattan year in September. Thanks to all who helped us make this year what it was!

According to global leaders, measuring #sustainability and integrating it with #business operations can increase profits, attract next-generation #talent and future-proof organizations for long-term #success.

Juneteenth represents brighter days filled with celebration but also serves as a reminder of the pain and struggles America’s Black community experienced – and still experiences. At YPO with its vision to inspire leaders to make a difference in the world, the day also serves as an opportunity. For member Jason Edwards, it means honoring his father’s #legacy as an influential legislator who fought to make June 19th a federal holiday. “Use Juneteenth as a day to communicate to your company and the descendants of American slavery, that you hear them, you see their history and you recognize their story,” Edwards urges. For Kanarys™ CEO Mandy Price it means funneling her civic mindedness into a company dedicated to systemic change around #diversity, equity and inclusion. “It takes all of us to ensure that we are creating a world that is working for the betterment of all. It’s not just a moral imperative, but societal necessity," she says. Frenchy's Chicken’s CEO Ernest H. is honoring the holiday by partnering with a young Black-owned company, a competitor, to create a menu collaboration. “We hope it shows the community, and really everyone, that Juneteenth was just the beginning of the journey,” Hunter says. “The way we continue to improve Black-owned businesses is to work together and cross competitor lines.” And Devon Henry is leaning into his Black YPO network to support and celebrate other leaders. “We share our joy and celebrate each other’s wins,” he says about the smaller group of YPO members within the larger organization. “We’re constantly asking how we can help each other."

Honoring #Juneteenth is a #family affair for YPO member Jason Edwards. His father, former #Texas state representative Albert Edwards, was instrumental in leading the cause to make June 19th a federal holiday and due to his efforts, in 2021 Congress approved the bill to establish the nationwide holiday. Jason continues his father’s #legacy through #education and #advocacy at Juneteenth U.S.A. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 – two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed – when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, USA, to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people were freed. Last year, Edwards sat down with DEI & You Consulting's Dolores Crazover (She/Her) to reflect on his father’s #legacy and what it meant to him to have the day legally recognized. #Leadership #impact #history #nationalholiday
