Metropolitan Baton Rouge Chapter History
In the Fall of 2014, the group reaffirmed its commitment to start a local NCBW chapter and restructured the Interest Group.
The Letter of Intent to organize a local NCBW Chapter, along with the chapter organizing fee, organizing leader profile, and charter members’ roster were forwarded to the national office for action from Dr. Leah S. Cullins, FNP-BC – Charter President. Acknowledgment to proceed with organizing the chapter was dated September 18, 2014. A planning session, in the form of an all-day retreat, was held on November 4, 2016. At that time, the Interest Group received technical assistance from the NCBW National Third Vice President of Membership and Chapter Development, Paula Ward, at that time. The day’s session focused on task force development and proposed bylaws. In the weeks that followed, founding members divided into five task forces (Membership, Bylaws, Nomination, Program, and Publicity) and met on a regular basis to complete the NCBW requirements and to plan for chapter installation. Also, representatives met with founding members and shared their experiences. They were helpful in providing information regarding membership recruitment, program development, and fundraising ideas.
November 5, 2016 was the culmination of the Interest Group’s hard work. Their vision became a reality in that Metropolitan Baton Rouge became the newest affiliate chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.
