Search underway for Urban League director By ANGELA WRIGHT Chronicle Managing Editor Efforts are underway nation ally and locally to find a new head of the Winston-Salem Urban League. Joseph Dickson, chairman of the League's board of directors, said that 28 people had filed for the position of president of the local organiza tion. He said the vacancy was advertised by the local League throughout the Triad, and nation wide by the National Urban League. All applications were for warded to the national League for certification before consider ation by the local League. The certification process, said Dick son, is a complete background check. So far, eight of the 28 candidates have been certified and their applications returned to the local League. Three candi dates have been rejected. Dickson said the local League would also do its own investigative check on the appli cations returned by the national League. He said that the candi dates for the position have come from all over the country, includ ing applications from people in Denver, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia and Illinois. Two of the applications were from local people, he said. Hazel Brown, currently the acting executive director of the League, has applied for the position of president. Brown has 26 years in the Urban League movement, said Dickson, and has been certified by the national League. He said he had been informed of another local applicant, but did not know the identity of the person because the application was sent to the national League. Dickson said the local League hoped to have all the applications certified by the national League and returned before April 12. "We would like to make a decision by June or July," he said, "but, we will not let lime be a factor." He said that once all the applications were received from the national League, the local personnel committee would review the applications and pro vide names and background information to the board of directors. Those candidates in whom the board of directors expresses an interest will then be brought in for an on-site inter view, he .said. "We've had some good can didates apply," he said, "but we haven’t ranked them in terms of how we view them, so far." Dickson said that the quali fications sought by the League for the position included a bach elor’s degree, although a mas- Jenkins From Page A1 it should continue to run just as well as it has." The building of the shopping center, which has six stores, was spearheaded by Mark Vieno of East Winston Associates. The land had been silting untouched for about 20 years before Vieno aj^ro- priaied an Urban Development Action Grant, which provided the necessary funds to build. Vieno could not be reached for comment Since then the shopping center has exceeded its expectations. The Food Lion grocery store has been ranked in the top three in sales for the area since its completion.

He said that, of the seven applications that have been reviewed by the local League, all of the candidates are current ly working with National Urban League affiliates, or have worked with them at some point. "Experience in long-range planning and fundraising is important," he said. But, he noted that many of the appli cants had marketing and finan cial backgrounds. Dickson said that, as the board is now structured, it will lake a simple majority vote to name the new president. The League’s former presi dent, Thomas J. Elijah, Jr., retired in December after an extended dispute between him self and board members. The Winston-Salem Chronicle is published every Thursday by the Winston- Salem Chronicle Publishing Co.
