The National Council of Negro Women was founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, as a national organization for all women with a focus of “Unity of Purpose and a Unity of Action.” The Greater Orlando Section was founded in 2008 with the specific mission to advocate activities to aid and promote the plight of women in Orange, Osceola, & Seminole counties by introducing programs focusing on Health, Education, Economic Empowerment, and Youth initiatives.
This year the organization has hosted a variety of events for the public in support of their programs. Signature events this year include the 3rd Annual National Women & Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day High Tea & Luncheon; 90-Day Get Fit Challenge; Education Straight Talk Series: Educating Our Youth for Greatness; and Economic Empowerment’s Work Your Business Plan among others.
“NCNWGOS provides a multitude of opportunities for service and volunteerism within the Greater Orlando area,” said Donesha Anthony, Chair of Membership. “We look forward to achieving greater heights of success by making a positive difference in the community through our pursuit of excellence.”
