Roslyn Brock to Chair NAACP Board
---------------------------------



The NAACP has elected Roslyn Brock to chair the organization’s board of
directors succeeding Julian Bond. At forty-four years old, Brock is the
NAACP’s youngest board chair. Brock’s election is seen as another move
by the NAACP to reach out to younger members. In 2008,
thirty-five-year-old Benjamin Jealous became the NAACP’s youngest CEO.
