Mission

The LaRuelist Report offers positive news stories, public policy issues, and event announcements that will help the greater communities connect with each other one person at a time.

Background

This site began in 2000 when a small group of African Americans organized into the Black Executive Network. Fifteen individuals participated on a humble listserv and moved information about seminars, networking events, and policy around in cyberspace by forwarding e-mails to friends and colleagues. That list of fifteen grew to 50 people within a month and then to 1,000 people within a year.

To date, the LaRuelist Report database has reached 10,000 people and is diverse on a socio-economic, ethnic, gender, and age perspective. While the majority of subscribers are based in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and the Greater New York areas, LaRuelist subscribers are literally all over the world.

Writers and staff

The LaRuelist Report has no staff and accepts articles from contributing writers who are volunteers. The site is developed and updated on a volunteer basis and encourages submission of content that delivers positive news about men, women, and children who serve as role models as to what we want our world to be.
