NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE GRIEVES THE PASSING OF FORMER BOARD CHAIR MICHAEL NEIDORFF
NEW YORK (April 7, 2022) – National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial issued the following statement in response to the death of former Board Chair Michael Neidorff:
“The Urban League family was stunned and saddened to learn of the passing of our brother, Michael Neidorff. The loss of his leadership, his fellowship, and his mentorship leaves a void that cannot be filled.
“Mr. Neidorff assumed the chairmanship of the National Urban League Board of Trustees in 2014, having served on the Board since 2010. He brought a wealth of experience, wisdom, and professionalism to the role, guiding our organization through the crucial years of recovery following the Great Recession.
“He was the driving force behind the new National Urban League Empowerment Center, our new headquarters under construction in Harlem, and it will stand as his legacy.
“He will be remembered as a compassionate and dedicated leader who was deeply invested in the National Urban League’s mission of empowering communities and changing lives. Our community is forever changed because of his influence, and he will never be forgotten.”
