Our Mission

The National Council of Negro Women, Incorporated and The NCNW Minnie H. Goodlow Page Section

The mission of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. (NCNW) is to lead, empower and advocate for women of African descent, their families and communities.


NCNW is an “organization of organizations” (comprised of 300 campus and community-based sections and 32 national women’s organizations) that enlightens, inspires and connects more than 2,000,000 women and men.  Its mission is to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families and communities. NCNW was founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, an influential educator and activist, and for more than fifty years, the iconic Dr. Dorothy Height was president of NCNW.  Johnnetta Betsch Cole was elected Chair of NCNW in 2018, ushering in a new era of social activism and continued progress and growth for the organization. Today, NCNW’s programs are grounded on a foundation of critical concerns known as “Four for the Future”. NCNW promotes education with a special focus on science, technology, engineering and math; encourages entrepreneurship, financial literacy and economic stability; educates women about good health and HIV/AIDS; promotes civic engagement and advocates for sound public policy and social justice.

Our History

The NCNW Minnie H. Goodlow Page Section was officially chartered on August 1, 2001. Dr. Mollie A. Johnson Williams is the Organizer, Advisor, and first President of the NCNW Minnie H.

  • Mrs. Evelynne H. Vick, Corresponding Secretary
  • Mrs. Louise F. Lemons, Senior Citizens Outreach
  • Mrs. Lucille D. Jones, Parliamentarian
  • Mrs. Gloria Johnson, Member Care Chair


In considering an appropriate community figure to name the NCNW section in honor of, Dr. Williams nominated the late Mrs. Minnie H. Goodlow Page. Mrs. Page’s name was unanimously approved and submitted to the national headquarters for consideration and approval by the late Dr. Dorothy Irene Height, Chair and President Emeritus of the National Council of Negro Women, Incorporated.  Dr. Height is quoted as saying, “I remember Mrs. Minnie Page, and you have made an outstanding choice.”
The Installation of Officers and Chartering Ceremony was held on the Paul Quinn College campus on October 13, 2001.  The Theme was “A Challenge to Community/National Service, Lifting Others as We Climb.”  Judge Faith Johnson of Dallas County Texas administered the Oath of Office.
