Urban League Guild of Greater Southwestern Ohio

The Urban League Guild of Greater Southwestern Ohio, alongside the Cincinnati Section of NCNW and AARP, proudly participated in a successful voter registration and voter education outreach effort during the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency’s Utilities Resources Fair on May 19.

Volunteers assisted community members with voter registration, updating voter information, and checking registration status ahead of the November election, while also sharing resources from VoteRiders to help remove barriers to voting.

Special thanks to Advocacy Chairperson Edith Smith, Paulette Moore, D. Lyne Watts, Joyce Gaines, Melanie Moon, Danette Ellis, Ms. Diane from AARP, Guild President Al Tyree, and Jeremy Jimmar from the Hamilton County Board of Elections for their support and service.

I was truly honored to represent the Urban League Guild of Greater Southwestern Ohio (ULGSO Guild) during a wonderful weekend of events hosted by the Cincinnati Section- NCNW, National Council of Negro Women, Inc.

Friday evening, I had the privilege of attending the reception honoring Dr. A. Lois Keith, National Chair of NCNW, and it was an esteemed honor to meet her personally.

Then on Saturday, my lovely wife, Judith Tyree, and I attended the 31st Annual Bethune Heights Recognition Breakfast alongside fellow Guilders who are also proud members of the Cincinnati Section- NCNW, National Council of Negro Women, Inc. It was an inspiring celebration of leadership, service, sisterhood, and community excellence.
