LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Austin S. Randolph, Jr.
As I reflect on 2025, I am proud to share that this year marked a period of growth and rebuilding for the Springfield Branch NAACP. We saw record attendance at our General Membership Meetings, secured a new office space, and continued to strengthen partnerships with local organizations to help build a better Springfield. I remained committed to bridging the gap between the Springfield Police Department and the community, and I was honored to serve on a subgroup of the Massey Commission, created by the Sangamon County Board. Our branch expanded its visibility and impact across the city, strengthened our relationship with Ameren Illinois, and participated in numerous community-wide events.
We also held a three-day, citywide observance of the 1908 Springfield Race Riot, reaffirming our commitment to remembrance and supporting the development of the future national monument. I want to thank the Executive Committee and membership for their belief in my leadership and their continued dedication. I look forward to building on this momentum and moving into 2026 with purpose and optimism.
In Solidarity, Austin S. Randolph, Jr.
