Patricia Stokes, former program manager of Meharry Medical College’s Center for Women’s Health Research, has been named president and CEO of the Urban League of Middle Tennessee.
Stokes has 20 years of nonprofit management experience. She oversaw the development of more than a dozen community health and scientific programs and partnerships at Meharry and held multiple leadership positions during a seven-year stint with the American Red Cross in Atlanta.
“In addition to being impeccably qualified, serving Urban League as president is an affirmation of her work,” said Urban League Chairman Sam Howard. “Since 2007, Patricia has worked with the Urban League of Middle Tennessee on a number of programs and grants, each of which typify her unique and obvious ability. We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome her as president.”
Stokes earned a master’s of social work from Smith College and a bachelor’s degree from Howard University. She is a member of Nashville CABLE, among others, and an incoming board member for Nashville’s Northwest YMCA.
