These HBCU scholars also are receiving academic training and development from the Southern Area of The Links, Incorporated which supplement their college's curriculum. 393639 Links Day at the Capital:For several years, Links members gathered at the state capitals in their respective seven states to meet with state legislators, hear about top legislative priorities for the upcoming legislative sessions and learn about ways they could help their communities be more aware of critical issues that would impact them. During the pandemic, this important opportunity wasn't missed but instead became a virtual setting. The members came together virtually on one Saturday in February 2022 and heard from legislators in all seven states. The members also participated in virtual breakout rooms to discuss topics specific to their state and plan activities that they could still accomplish to keep their communities aware of important issues. It was a very successful program with ~2,000 registrants. 1180918 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 84 84 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 X Janine Rouson 9195397739 8800 Highhill Rd Raleigh NC 27615 X Sylvia Perry Area Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vanessa Falls Area Vice Director 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kenyonn Demps Area Secretary 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janine Rouson Area Treasurer 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 552198 552198 Conferences 541900 872550 872550 National allotment 541900 100266 100266 972816 58230 17598 40632 40632 1565646 972816 0 40632 4400 4400 3712 2852 860 9573 6243 3330 553731 553731 Program expenses 587297 569699 17598 Meeting expenses 74266 48393 25873 Contributions 33500 33500 Telephone and communica 7854 7854 10847 10847 1285180 1180918 53164 51098 989385 1097931 101787 16500 1091172 1114431 274805 274805 0 X 790253 1074238 26114 40193 816367 1114431 1091172 1114431 X 280466 17598 X 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The organization has members Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a The members elect the governing body Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b The actions of the governing body are approved by the members Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Form 990 is reviewed among the organization, the Treasurer and the Governing Body.
