SUMMARY:Signature Luncheon with Ambassador Andrew Young
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce that Ambassador Andrew Young will be our special guest speaker at our February Signature Luncheon in honor of Black History Month. This is an unforgettable opportunity to hear from one of the most distinguished diplomats of our time. We hope you will join us for this unforgettable event.\n\n\n\nAmbassador Young has earned worldwide recognition as a pioneer in and champion of civil and human rights. His lifelong dedication to service is illustrated by his extensive leadership experience of over sixty-five years serving as a member of Congress\, African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations\, Mayor of Atlanta\, and ordained minister\, among other positions.\n\n\n\nDuring the 1960s\, Young was a key strategist and negotiator during civil rights campaigns that led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Appointed as an Ambassador to the United Nations in 1977\, Young negotiated an end to white-minority rule in Namibia and Zimbabwe and brought President Carter's emphasis on human rights to international diplomacy efforts. As two-term Mayor of Atlanta\, Young brought in over 1\,100 businesses\, over 70 billion in foreign direct investments and generated over a million jobs.\n\n \n\nAmbassador Young has received honorary degrees from more than 100 universities and colleges in the U.S. and abroad and has received various awards\, including an Emmy Lifetime Achievement award in 2011 and the Dan Sweat Award in 2017.  His portrait also became part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.\n\n \n\nAmbassador Young also serves on a number of boards\, including\, but not limited to\, the Martin Luther King Center for Non-Violent Social Change\, Morehouse College\, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State and Americas Mart. In 2003\, he and his wife Carolyn McClain Young founded the Andrew J. Young Foundation to support and promote education\, health\, leadership and human rights in the U.S.\, Africa\, and the Caribbean.  Young currently serves as the Chairman of the Andrew J. Young Foundation.\n\n \n\nIn 2012\, Young retired from GoodWorks International\, LLC\, after well over a decade of facilitating sustainable economic development in the business sectors of the Caribbean and Africa. Young was born in 1932 in New Orleans\, and he currently lives in Atlanta with his wife\, Carolyn McClain.
