National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Greater Seattle Chapter

The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. - Greater Seattle Chapter was chartered on September 12th 2021. Our mission is to advocate on behalf of Black women and girls to promote leadership development and gender equity in the areas of health, education and economic empowerment. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NCBW), Inc. is a non-profit organization that advocates on behalf of Black women and girls. Our members address concerns in economic empowerment, education, health and public policy, to promote gender and racial equity. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NCBW) was launched on October 24, 1981, with representatives from 14 states and the District of Columbia, and selected Jewell Jackson McCabe as its first national president. Its mission was to advocate on behalf of women of color through national and local actions and strategic alliances that promote the NCBW agenda on leadership development and gender equity in the areas of health, education and economic empowerment. The rapidity by which the organization grew is attested to by the statistics of 1986: 47 chapters in 19 states. NCBW currently has over 2,800 members in 61 chapters. National Initiatives are programs designed and implemented in response to critical national issues that affect the African American community: such as our crisis in education, health, economic empowerment and public policy. Partnerships and participation opportunities are encouraged.
