LOL - "Thurston Howell III-ish". I have to remember to say this at the convention - I agree with you. Often, I think I'm the youngest person in meetings and was the youngest on the state executive committee.

There is nothing wrong with either org to me. I sorta like the Urban League a little better. It's more visible in my city. The NAACP is there, too, but for the reasons described above, I understand why I see the Greater Washington Urban League more.
Random: When I was fresh out of college, I considered joining the Thursday Network (the young professional auxilliary) but I dunno..... it seemed a little "stepping-stonish." Not really the kinds of people I wanted to be around.
And the NAACP chapter, I went to their annual gala and it seemed a little.... Thurston Howell III-ish.
Big ups to them in general though.
