Octavia Browder, Contract Implementation Manager at Cenpatico, recently attended the National Urban League (NUL) Centennial Conference in Washington, D.C. on July 28 through July 31 on behalf of Centene, Cenpatico’s parent company.  Centene was a sponsor of this year’s conference, which had over 90,000 attendees, and also hosted a booth at the NUL career fair to recruit candidates for the organization and its subsidiaries.

This was Octavia’s first visit to Washington, D.C., and she was excited to serve as a conference volunteer for Centene.  President Barack Obama was a featured speaker at the Plenary Session.  Immediately before the President took the stage, Centene CEO Michael Neidorff spoke about the company and the services offered by Centene.

“I had the opportunity to, not only hear, but see two very influential speakers and I got the chance to learn about Centene’s national presence and meet with volunteers from our offices in Washington, Ohio, and St. Louis”, said Octavia.  “I was thrilled to be chosen as a volunteer, as this was a remarkable experience for all that attended.”

Each year, the NUL Conference brings together an extraordinary group of the nation’s leading business, community, and political figures.  Empowerment Time: Past, Present & Future was this year’s conference theme and it signifies the progress and promise of the National Urban League movement.
