Thank you for visiting The National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Incorporated's website. You have entered a portal that is steeped in history, community service, and women dedicated to supporting each other. Our history dates back to 1935 when seven daring women linked minds, hearts, and hands to bring together the New York, Philadephia, and Atlantic City Business and Professional Women's Clubs to form our National Association.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT WE KNOW...
In the world of today, we often hear "It takes a village to raise a child."
NANBPWC knows. . . that if our villages have problems that we cannot raise successful children. Help us build strong communities.
We hear "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
NANBPWC knows. . . that we can not wait until it is time to go to college to prepare our young people for successful futures! Help us educate the young and the old.
We hear entrepreneurs say, "My community doesn't support my business."
NANBPWC knows. . .that "we" must be the foundation of support for Black businesses and professionals in our communities,. Help us build self-sufficiency.
We hear Black consumers complain about quality and pricing of goods and services offered by Black entrepreneurs.
NANBPWC knows. . .that while demanding quality we must also understand the complexity and challenges of Black business ownership, as many of our members fill these shoes. Help us teach successful business practices and provide equal access to business capital.
Those actively involved in community improvement see many in need and look for broader support and collaborative efforts.
NANBPWC knows. . .that everyone has a responsibility and our members have dedicated themselves through our local clubs by not sitting back and letting someone else do it. Help us establish collaborative efforts that will leverage resources as we work to address issues and build viable communities together.
We offer opportunities not only for women but students (our Youth Division ages 12 to 18 and college students) and men (Ombudsmen).
NANBPWC knows. . .that to build strong communities, encourage, and support economic development and educational advancement, it takes everyone in the village to make our villages work! Help us by joining, affiliating, and supporting NANBPWC.
