Welcome to the 2010 Whitney M. Young, Jr. Memorial Conference

In between periods of extreme success and failure, a change in direction often occurs. Things take a turn for better or worse. On the heels of an unprecedented economic and global political crisis, we will explore the phenomena of turning points of extraordinary people, companies, and countries. We are inviting our guests to share their stories and learn how to recognize and seize opportunity. We hope that everyone will leave inspired, reinvigorated and ready to adapt and lead through their own Turning Point.
