PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Greetings!
Welcome to the official website of The National Coalition of 100 Black Women Incorporated, Bergen/Passaic Chapter. I am privileged to serve as the 11th President of this esteemed chapter and continue the legacy of advocacy and empowerment of Black women and girls.
Our chapter was founded by the visionary Mary Ann Miller on September 21, 1986 along with 30 trailblazing members. Since then, we’ve grown into a powerful force for advocacy, equity, and transformation. From our early work with Englewood Partners for Public Education, voter registration drives, and historic preservation efforts, to receiving groundbreaking grants from NIH, amplifying recruitment for HBCUs and educating the community on health issues disproportionately affecting black women—our chapter has stood as a beacon of leadership and community advocacy for nearly 4 decades. This year is particularly special as we celebrate 40 years of advocacy in the Bergen and Passaic counties!
OUR MISSION
The Mission of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. 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.
