WELCOME FROM OUR PRESIDENT...

On behalf of the National Council of Negro Women- San Diego Chapter, Thank you for stopping by.  I hope that your journey through our website provides you with a thorough understanding of our legacy, mission and wonderful Sisterhood.

NCNW’s founder Mary MCLeod Bethune was a visionary leader, educator and civil rights leader.  She understood that without education, family and character, poverty was inevitable. She once said, “I believe that the greatest hope for the development of my race lies in training our women thoroughly and practically”, and she worked tirelessly in that pursuit. Today, NCNW continues to carry on her amazing legacy.

I am humbled and honored to represent NCNW-San Diego Chapter as their President. These Phenomenal women, encompasses a variety of backgrounds and spans multiple generations.  We have educators, attorneys, medical professional, community leaders, homemaker, business owners, pastors and sorority members. We stand committed and united to making positive change in our community now and for future generations.

NCNW’s most valuable assets are the Women who make up our members.  These women embrace our organization’s mission to make a difference in the lives of others. Although NCNW was founded for women of color, women of all ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to join.  I encourage you to learn more about our organization and feel confident that at the end of your visit, you can envision yourself as a part of our Team.

Enjoy your visit!

Sincerely,

Pamela Hendrickson, President
NCNW San Diego Section
