Message From Our President
Carolyn Harrington
Greetings,
On behalf of the dedicated sisters of the Chesterfield Metro Area Section (CMAS) of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc (NCNW). Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I am honored to serve as the 1st President of our section. During the upcoming year, CMAS will focus on creating opportunities and collaborating with partners to help our community thrive.
CMAS members lend a helping hand to those in our community. We are committed to building a solid, rich history in our communities. Our programs include various parts of health and wellness, advocacy, and supporting our community schools. We awarded our first academic scholarship to a 2023 high school senior, achieving one of our goals. CMAS supports programs to enhance the growth of high school graduates and pledges to continue to support our students with a desire to attend higher education.
Our section aligns with NCNW national headquarters to promote education, encourage entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and economic stability, educate women about health, and promote healthcare access and civic engagement. In addition, CMAS advocates for sound public policy and social justice.
We hope you will return frequently to obtain updates on programs, events, and activities. Please follow us on social media. Contact us to learn more about our section, programs, and initiatives or if you wish to become a collaborative partner.
If you are a National member of NCNW and are looking for a home section, please consider joining our section. We extend a warm welcome to you. We meet on the fourth Thursday monthly for business meetings. However, the business of the Chesterfield Metro Area Section is moving forward every day as we strive toward our goals to impact our service area.
Sincerely,
Carolyn E. Harrington
President-Chesterfield Metro Area Section
