The Urban Leadership Foundation of Colorado will host our 11th graduation on November 09, 2018. We are excited to celebrate thirty talented leaders from the community who are poised and ready to lead in: business, community, politics, philanthropy, non-profit agencies, as well as boards and commissions.

Simply put, ULFC prepares leaders to excel to higher heights and excel professionally, Civically, and Socially. This year the 2018 Fellows will graduate completing two large scale community service projects, having 8 promotions within the program year, and having launched several small businesses.

Since our founding in 2007, the Urban Leadership Foundation of Colorado has successfully graduated nearly 350 leaders, provided over $100,000 in scholarships for program participants, completed 35 community service projects, and has cultivated African American elected officials, CEOs, philanthropic giving organizations, board members, and much more. Our mission is to prepare the next generation of leaders today and to create a pipeline of talented leaders ready to serve, promote, affect change, and work to ensure Colorado’s workforce reflects its communities.

I invite you to share in our effort of service, development, inclusion, and access by serving as an event sponsor. Sponsors and participants will have an opportunity to network with Colorado leaders and celebrate some of the best and brightest of our community. We truly believe that it is important to highlight and celebrate “Excellence in Leadership” and our annual graduation provides an opportunity to experience this first hand. Come support and meet the 2018 leadership fellows of the Urban Leadership Foundation of Colorado, you definitely want to know Colorado’s newest cohort in the next generation of leaders.

We look forward to celebrating ULFC, the 2018 Fellows, and introducing these brilliant Fellows to you and the community. To learn more about the organization and the graduation, visit our website, www.ulfcolorado.org or feel free to contact Jasmine Elizabeth at events@ulfcolorado.org.
