Milton emphasizes that the key to successful friend raising is recognizing each individual's capacity for meaningful contribution and empowering them to join your mission. He believes social issues are best addressed if we come together, leveraging our collective skills and experiences, as opposed solely relying on fundraising efforts.\n\nMilton was the first African-American president and CEO of United Way of Greater Atlanta in July 2007. Before joining United Way, he has served as the Chief Operating Officer and interim President and CEO of the National Urban League. Prior to joining the League, he has had a career in corporate philanthropy at AT&T and Lucent Technologies and served as the President for Field Operations for MDRC.\n\nHe provides invaluable insights into how to excel as a trailblazer, leading the way for others to follow. Through his advice, minority executives can gain vital knowledge on overcoming challenges and conquering perceptions when becoming the first of their kind in senior leadership roles. To empower communities and better societal outcomes, we must explore how to utilize public policy strategies that support social justice initiatives. By enhancing economic opportunities for all citizens, we can build a more equitable society where everyone has the chance to thrive.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/18c27483-1ab7-4d65-b9d0-aea132a58191/ZTMR46qIOegPSwlRa-LjG736.jpg"}
