Roslyn M. Brock

Roslyn McCallister Brock is the youngest person and fourth woman ever elected as Chairman of the NAACP. She actively leads the nation’s most significant civil rights organization in its mission to ensure that all individuals have equal rights, and that racial discrimination is abolished.

For over 25 years, Brock has served as a leader in the NAACP. As a committed community advocate who works on behalf of vulnerable populations, Brock fights for quality education, civil rights, economic justice, decent housing, and accessible, affordable healthcare for all. “My conscience is the conscience of this nation,” she has said. “As a nation, we must put aside individual differences and work diligently to develop new partnerships, break new ground and chart new pathways to impact the public debate.”

Brock has created her own success, receiving accolades along the way. As a healthcare administrator, she managed programs for the New York State Health Department and the United States Agency for International Development. Her numerous healthcare, community service and leadership awards include The Network Journal’s “40-Under-Forty Achievement Award,” Ebony magazine’s “Future Leader Award,” and Good Housekeeping’s “100 Young Women of Promise” Award.

Brock speaks with strong conviction, encouraging us all to find our voice and lead the way for civil and social justice issues.
