Southern New Jersey Chapter
History
In 1999, five determined Black Women in Southern New Jersey met
to form a NCBW Interest Group. The women had a desire to fill a
void that occurred when a former NCBW Chapter dissolved after the
death of Alice D. Corsey who served as President from the mid-1980’s
until her death in 1990. For the next year and a half their goal
was focused upon recruitment and organizational development. By
early 2001, 32 founding members who provided the financial support
needed to launch the Chapter had been recruited.
On February 24, 2001, a new Chapter with 39 members was installed
and chartered by the National Organization. Symbolically, the installation
ceremony was held in the Alice D. Corsey Courtroom, which is located
in the Deptford Township Municipal Building in Deptford, NJ. The
Chapter has continued to grow and thrive since then.
Since the Chapter’s inception, it has provided remarkable
programs and initiated a network to enhance the knowledge and growth
of women of color in our surrounding communities in the areas of
health, economic development, education and leadership development.
Mission
