National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.-PGC Chapter

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. NATIONAL PROGRAM INITIATIVES
