The Board of Directors, authors of “The Makings of a Man,” have partnered with Concerned Black Men of Columbia to host the 1st Annual Principles of Manhood Symposium at The Cecil Tillis Center (2111 Simpkins Lane, Columbia, SC 29204) on August 15, 2013 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.
“We’re glad our two organizations can work together to uplift the young men of the Columbia area,” said La’Sondrick Bridges of Concerned Black Men. “We can’t expect our young men to know the principles of manhood if we, the adults, don’t teach them. We expect this event to be a major step towards imparting this critical information with our young men.”
The Principles of Manhood Symposium will focus on the characteristics of leadership. Community leaders will be speaking to the young men about their personal leadership experiences and how the youth can implement leadership principles into their daily lives. There will also be a panel discussion to address questions the young men may have about leadership.
“It’s a blessing to be able to bring this message of leadership to the young men of Columbia,” said Michael Holoman of The Board of Directors, “Often society like to talk about the problems of the community. We’re glad to actively be part of the solution instead.”
Both The Board of Directors and Concerned Black Men participated in the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation’s mentoring campaign held in Columbia in February 2013 at C.A. Johnson High School. In addition to motivating the men of Columbia to become mentors, established mentoring organizations from all across the midlands came together to network and become a cohesive unit in the mentoring of Columbia’s young men.
“We want to make sure the Harvey Foundation mentoring campaign was not in vain,” said Gerard Droze of The Board of Directors. “Our organizations working together can do so much more than we can individually.”
“It’s going to take us working together with a shared vision to make a difference in our community,” said Jabari Price of The Board of Directors. “The future of Columbia depends on today’s youth.”
The Principles of Manhood Symposium is free and open to the public. Please register for the event at ColumbiaManhoodSymposium.eventbrite.com.
The Board of Directors will live on our show tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Pacific. They will be joined by one of the members of Concerned Black Men of Columbia, Jaquia (Ja-QUAY) Bridges. They will be talking about the event and manhood.
