The GCDP will host a “thank you” reception for City Councilwoman Jil Littlejohn on Tuesday, October 1 from 6:15-8:15 pm at the David Hellams Community Center, 111 Spartanburg Street, Greenville, 29607. The youngest member on the council and one of two members of color, Jil has represented District 3 since January 2009. The decision not to run for reelection, as Jil described it, “was not taken lightly and involved prayer, consultation, and even tears.” She also recently resigned from her position as the President and CEO of the Urban League of the Upstate to become Director of Learning Development and Diversity and Inclusion for Hubbell Incorporated.
