with the league." says Mundy, "It helps every­
body.”
The league has played a historical role in
Portland. Mundy believes there is no African
American person in Portland that hasn't been
positively impacted with the league in some
way.
“People of color have had doors opened to
them because of the urban league," he says.
Mundy hopes to leave the league in a better
state then he found it, and also leave it in the
hands of a passionate and compassionate indi­
vidual who will keep the organization focused on
making productive members of society.
“This is the most gratifying job I have ever
had.” says Mundy.
"I know I leave every day directly helping
individuals.”
Marcus Mundy serves as
president and chief executive officer
of the Urban League o f Portland, the
city's leading civil rights and social
services organization.
