Cuyahoga County Section-National Council of Negro Women, Inc. Mission: to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families and communities.

The National Council of Negro Women, Inc.

Cuyahoga County Section
National Council Of Negro Women, Inc. was founded December 5, 1935 by Mary McLeod Bethune, distinguished educator and government consultant who advocated for the advancement of rights of minorities and women. As a voluntary nonprofit 501(c) (3) membership organization, NCNW works to improve the quality of life for women, children, families and communities across the United

States and in African countries. Through 39 national affiliate organizations, more than 240 community-based Chartered Sections and participating individuals, NCNW has an outreach to more than four million women. NCNW's international regional offices are in Egypt and Senegal, and it has acquired Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Consultative Status at the United Nations, one of only two African American women’s organizations to do so. Locally, NCNW is centrally organized to fill the gaps in our communities; NCNW calls on a core of volunteers to address local needs. NCNW brings to these initiatives the added support of a network of thousands of women whose collective efforts enhance community service and actions. CCS is the facilitator for programs listed on the back of this the membership brochure.

On Saturday, August 8, 2026, the NCNW Cuyahoga County Section members came together for our 2026 CCS Membership Retreat, a day of vision, connection, learning, and renewed commitment to the mission of NCNW.

Clara W. Nelson, President-Elect shared a powerful vision for the future, reminding us of the importance of ensuring that everything we do remains aligned with the mission and purpose of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc.

💜 Through meaningful discussions and engaging breakout sessions, members gained a deeper understanding of the value of NCNW programs, initiatives, advocacy, and service.

We learned, shared, listened, and most importantly, recognized that each of us brings something valuable to the table. When we combine our gifts, talents, experiences, and passion for service, there is no limit to what we can accomplish together!

The retreat was a beautiful reminder that our collective power is our greatest strength. We left encouraged, energized, and ready to put our vision into action.

🌟 The future of the NCNW Cuyahoga County Section is BRIGHT!
💜 The vision is clear.
💜 The mission remains our foundation.
💜 The possibilities are endless.
💜 And together, WE are the future!
