President's Welcome
Greetings Members and Friends,​
Welcome to the website of the Washington Section of the National Council Negro Women, Inc., I thank God for all the blessings He bestowed upon the Washington Section in 2024 and for His grace and mercy that has carried us into 2025. Thank you for visiting our site to learn more about the Washington Section.
My name is Anita H. Waters, and I am the newly elected president for 2024-2026 of the Washington Section. It is my honor to serve this prestigious organization in this capacity. During my tenure, my goals for the organization are to raise more awareness of the Washington Section, NCNW in the Washington Metropolitan Area and beyond and to increase our membership with the help of our members. It is my desire to increase our involvement in economic empowerment, governmental and urban affairs, S.T.E.M. Education, health equity, and social justice.
Through the website we have welcomed new members, advertised programs and events, and received helpful feedback from the communities we serve. The 2024-2026 newly elected administrations are collaborating with our section members, energized, moving forward with new fresh ideas, and building upon the legacy of the past administrations. The mission of the NCNW is to lead, develop, and advocate for women of African descent as they support their families and communities. NCNW fulfills this purpose through research, advocacy, and national and community-based services and programs on issues of health, education, and economic empowerment in the United States and Africa. We are resolute, determined and driven to move the Washington Section to Greater Works. We know that “WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER.” As we strive to enhance our service and contributions to meet the needs of the African American families, and the surrounding communities the Metropolitan Area. We realize that it takes a village to meet the needs of everyone!
In service and unity,
Anita H. Waters
President
