NAACP announces new appointments at national headquarters

Petrie, Phil W

In December, NAACP President and CEO Kweisi Mfume announced the appointment of Libby Liu as director of administration and strategic planning. Liu began working at the NAACP in November 2001. She holds dual degrees from the Wharton School of Business and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Before working at the association, Liu was director of Human Resource/Employment Counsel at Syrus, Inc., a high-tech company in San Jose, Calif., and a senior consultant at Business Investigation Service in Washington, D.C.

Liu is responsible for the day-to-day management of administrative policies. She will oversee the performance of other departments, provide recommendations for improved daily operations and serve as chair of the strategicplanning task force, a committee put in place to implement the association's five-year strategic plan.

Mfume also appointed Jerome Reide, deputy director, national field operations. A long-time civil rights activist, Reide served as director of NAACP Midwest Region Ill. Reide received a law degree from Hofstra University Law School, a masters in journalism from Columbia University, and a Ph.D. in political science from Michigan State University. Reide will help NAACP units implement the five-year strategic plan, investigate internal complaints and, when needed, attend direct action activities and special projects in the field.

Jeneen L. Robinson received her appointment Oct. 15 and joins the national staff as director of the NAACP's Academic Cultural Technological Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO). Robinson has been an ACT-SO volunteer for the last three years and has experience in education and project development.

"This year, we are refocusing our programs," Robinson says. "We want [ACT-SO] to be educationally and enrichment-driven." In January, two new ACT-SO categories - fashion design and digital arts - were launched under the program's visual arts division.
