About NCNW
National Council Negro Women (NCNW) is an “organization of organizations,” comprised of 330 campus and community-based sections and 38 national women’s organizations that enlightens, inspires, and connects more than 2,000,000 women and men. Its mission is to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families, and communities. It was founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, an influential educator and activist, and for more than fifty years, the iconic Dr. Dorothy Height was president of NCNW.
Today, the NCNW programs are grounded on a foundation of critical concerns that are now “NCNW Priorities.” Our organization promotes education; encourages entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and economic stability; educates women about health and promotes healthcare access, and promotes civic engagement and advocates for sound public policy and social justice.
North Fulton Area Section received the Official Certificate of Charter from the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. on September 26, 2019. The Chartering Ceremony was held on November 9, 2019 in Alpharetta, GA.
A Message from the President
North Fulton Area Section, NCNW
Dear Sisters, Partners, and Friends,
Welcome to the North Fulton Area Section of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW)! It is my honor and joy to serve as President and to walk alongside such dynamic women of purpose.
Our section is rooted in the vision of our founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, who believed in “lifting as we climb” and empowering women to lead, advocate, and serve. Guided by her legacy, our mission is to unite women of African descent, their families, and communities through education, community service, social action, and advocacy.
At NFAS, we celebrate sisterhood, cultivate leadership, and create opportunities to transform lives. Whether through youth mentorship, civic engagement, or service to families in need, our work is grounded in faith, fortified by purpose, and focused on leaving a lasting impact.
We invite you to join us in this mission—whether as a member, partner, or friend. Together, we can continue to strengthen our communities, honor our heritage, and ensure that the values of NCNW endure for generations to come.
In Sisterhood and Service,
Tomika Bacon
