Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Events of the naacp primarily include the convention, image awards and leadership 500. Each major event is discussed in further detail below: convention - the annual convention, as mandated by the constitution of the naacp, brings together the members from the association's 2,000 local adult, youth & college and act-so branches from across the united states and throughout the world, to establish polices and set the program agenda for the upcoming year. Major speakers from the nonprofit, government and business environment are invited to share their ideas and outlook on the state of civil rights and the status of the people of color both here and abroad. An exhibit hall containing a broad base of large companies and small vendors are available for members to view, discuss and patronize during the week of seminars and meetings. In addition, a job fair is conducted both onsite and virtually via the internet. Leadership 500 - the leadership 500 summit convenes approximately 500 mid level professionals for a weekend of critical and intense discourse about our continuing role in the pursuit of civil rights and social justice. This vital group of individuals, who are positioned to provide leadership at every level professionally and in the civic arena, also hone their leadership skills and network which increases their ability to advance personally, professionally and provide leadership in their communities.image awards - the naacp image awards bestows honors on projects and individuals of all races in the music, film, television and literary industries who helped to promote positive images of people of color. The awards take place annually and the image awards show usually airs live on network television.

Activity 3

Field operations - naacp regional and field offices are responsible for assuring that naacp units are viable and capable of carrying out the naacp's mission at the local level. This effort requires providing the necessary training and information to adults volunteers, serving and strengthening stakeholder relations, and cultivating youth and college members. Youth program objectives are to inspire, motivate, and create interest in civic activities; provide young people with an understanding of pertinent issues; develop organizational skills for implementation of community-related activities; and encourage active participation in these activities.
