President's Message

Greetings and thank you for visiting our website. In 1986, the Bergen/Passaic Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. (NCBW 100) was chartered as an affiliate chapter. Since that day the members of the chapter have been dedicated to our motto "Women Making a Difference." Membership is made up of progressive women of color from all geo-political and socio-economic backgrounds sharing a common interest. Focusing on the areas of community service, leadership development, advocacy, education, cultural enrichment, health issues and financial literacy, the chapter remains a vital and relevant part of the community.

The communities we serve are located in Bergen and Passaic Counties, Northern New Jersey. We are not just a coalition of women, but a movement of women, raising the awareness of the community to eliminate the disparities that limit our access to quality health, economic and social power. As an advocacy organization, we continue to stay aware of issues locally, nationally and globally so as to position NCBW 100 to be able to speak out on issues that impact gender, racial and social equality. I salute our members for their volunteerism, dedication and service to NCBW as they champion these various issues and the impact we have made in the communities we serve. Together we will continue to make a difference.

In 2011, NCBW 100 Bergen/Passaic Chapter will be celebrating 25 years of service to the community and we hope that you will continue to support us. We encourage you to visit our website often to stay abreast of our initiatives, programs and events. Become a partner and supporter of NCBW 100.

Best regards,
Deborah Witcher Jackson

President, National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Bergen-Passaic Chapter, Inc.
