As President of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), Austin Section, it is both an honor and pleasure to welcome you to the website. NCNW Austin Section is a voluntary non-profit membership organization founded in Austin in 1946. The Austin section focuses on family and community as well as promoting health, education, leadership, and entrepreneurial endeavors for minority women and youth. We fulfill our mission through research, advocacy, community based services and programs. This year, we are focusing on improving health and fitness for our entire membership and their families in the greater Austin area. New topics such as Nutrition, Stress Reduction, Exercise and Weight Loss will be presented in section meetings by experts within our community. Moreover,we fully support First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move Campaign! Join us as we set and achieve new goals this year.

Please visit the link for our 2011 events. The events assist to reach the goals of our organization while serving the women of color in Texas. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming section activities.

I sincerely hope that our website provides you with more information about the organization and its members. I am personally very proud of the work that the chapter is doing and I am so happy to be able to share our efforts with you all. We have installed new officers, who prove to be dedicated leaders in the community we serve. We also look forward to working closely with our affiliate sections to support their events throughout 2011.

Best Regards,

Marilyn Johnson, President
