A Message from President Keith Merith

I am honoured and privileged to be able to serve as President of the Association of Black Law Enforcers (A.B.L.E) and to be part of an incredible leadership team that has become a force for positive social change over the past 19 years.

All over the world changes are occurring. Socially with the advent of social media, economically, with the ups and downs of our financial institutions, environmentally with the ever growing movement towards friendlier ways of managing our natural resources and rapidly expanding technological advances that alters various aspects of our lives.

We are fortunate at A.B.L.E to have embraced change through empowering our youth to seek great heights and dream great dreams.  We engage our community to operate at a level that we are capable of and demonstrate our resilience and resourcefulness in achieving success.  The work of this organization has made a difference in the various communities within and beyond the Province of Ontario. 

As the President of this organization, I can assure you that this work will continue.

Knowledge and creativity remains the driving force in our organization, but it is the collaboration between the wisdom of the elders and the insightfulness of youth that will ultimately generate new thinking, new ideas that will be essential to elevate us to new heights, as the issues facing our diverse society grow in their complexity.

What we offer is guidance born out of wisdom and vetted through time. We share experiences good and bad.  We coach and mentor. We secure the message – when you lose (you are bound to lose some battles), don’t lose the lesson.

With your support we are A.B.L.E to carry out this critical work. We will continue to partner with our stakeholders to achieve our collective goals.

Please join us at our 20th Annual Scholarship Awards Ball on Saturday May 12th, 2012 at La Parc Banquet Hall, Located at 8432 Leslie Street, Thornhill, ON, Canada.  Details can be found on our coming events page.
