our board members / OFFICERS

Seattle Section National Council of Negro Women, we can only succeed if we stand together. This organization was built on the strength and commitment of African-American women who had fewer financial opportunities and/or educational options. We are, charged with implementing their goals and dreams. Today more than ever, NCNW must prepare to protect the last will and testament of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and the legacy of our First African American First Lady and President.  We have challenges, but we are empowered by our foremothers who laid the foundation for us to build upon.
