Commissioner Jeanne B. Mullgrav to Speak at South Bronx Leadership Forum

March 5, 2008

On Thursday, April 10, 2008, Jeanne B. Mullgrav, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) will speak at SoBRO’s South Bronx Leadership Forum (SBLF). Commissioner Mullgrav was appointed to her current post by Mayor Bloomberg in 2002. Since that time, she has overseen a dramatic increase in her department’s resources and has effectively channeled those resources into New York City organizations, yielding tremendous results for us and our communities.

The SBLF gives individuals that play a key role in this city an opportunity to talk about their plans and priorities by addressing leaders from the public, private and non-profit sectors, along with members of the community. Previous guests have included Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Governor Eliot Spitzer and many more of the region’s most influential figures. Commissioner Mullgrav will make an excellent and honorable addition to this distinguished roster. Breakfast will be provided at 8:30am for the cost of $5 and the event will begin at 9am. Reservations must be made in advance by either emailing jburke@sobro.org or downloading and faxing the attached form.

The Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) was created in 1996 to provide the City of New York with high-quality youth and family programming. The Department’s central task is administering available City, state, and federal funds to effective community-based organizations. Selected organizations must be in touch with the needs of the people they serve, devoted to the highest principles of community service, and committed to sound fiscal management. Commissioner Mullgrav has been effectively administering her Department’s policy for nearly six years.
