The Louisville Urban League presented the inaugural class of the Urban Leadership Alliance Seminar (ULAS) at its Annual Report Luncheon on December 6, 2013. The Urban Leadership Alliance Seminar (ULAS) is specifically designed as a vehicle through which African American men exhibiting high potential as future leaders are coached, educated and prepared for higher levels of leadership and responsibility within their respective companies.
Through ULAS participants accelerate their career paths ultimately increasing the number of African American men in upper level positions within the Louisville community. Launched as a pilot in March 2013, ULAS is a 9 month seminar with each session divided into three core areas: Self-awareness, Leadership Skill Development and Tactical Skill Application. Under a contract with the Louisville Urban League, ULAS is powered by SOAR a subsidiary of the PEER Exchange Network, LLC.
The inaugural class consisted of 15 participants representing 11 Louisville-based companies.
