Greetings from Vivian L. Smith<br />
It is with a spirit <strong>of</strong> thankfulness, great joy and gladness that I greet all Delegates, Affiliates,<br />
Corporate Sponsors, Partners and Visitors to the 52 nd <strong>National</strong> Convention and the 70 th<br />
Founder’s Day <strong>of</strong> the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Negro</strong> <strong>Women</strong>, Inc.<br />
Welcome to what has been planned as a historic review <strong>of</strong> our achievements and challenges<br />
over the 70 years since Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune’s vision to organize a national<br />
“organization <strong>of</strong> organizations”. Dr. Dorothy I. Height has continued the vision with<br />
strategies that have led to expanded services focusing on health, education, economics, the<br />
family, social issues and technology.<br />
The agenda for 52 nd <strong>National</strong> Convention will serve to remind us <strong>of</strong> where we have been,<br />
how far we have come on our journey and will help us begin to chart the course for our<br />
future. This is indeed a special time in our history. We have tried to highlight significant<br />
historical events. The Dorothy I. Height Leadership Institute and workshops have been<br />
designed to focused on issues relevant to NCNW’s growth and development. With renewed<br />
commitment, we will work during the Convention towards devising solutions to present day<br />
challenges and issues that are in keeping with the mission and goals <strong>of</strong> our great <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
The Founder’s Day observance will acknowledge those “on whose shoulders we stand”<br />
while recognizing the commendable service <strong>of</strong> our <strong>National</strong> Affiliates, State Conveners and<br />
Community Base Sections. NCNW is the sum <strong>of</strong> the contributions <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> our members!!<br />
Thanks to each individual and group for the contributions that you continue to make in<br />
advancing the mission and goals <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
On a personal note, I would like to thank Dr. Height for allowing me the<br />
opportunity to work with some <strong>of</strong> the most committed and dedicated people on this<br />
earth— I salute the 2005 Convention Planning Committee and thank them<br />
individually and collectively for giving <strong>of</strong> their time and talents in planning<br />
NCNW’s 52 nd <strong>National</strong> Convention.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Vivian L. Smith<br />
Chair, 52 nd <strong>National</strong> Convention<br />
Legacy Life Member<br />
<strong>National</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Negro</strong> <strong>Women</strong>
Greetings to NCNW Members, Delegates, Youth and Friends.<br />
A warm welcome to everyone who has gathered for<br />
the 52 nd <strong>National</strong> Convention in Washington, D.C. the<br />
Title “70 years: Challenges & Achievements, Living the<br />
Legacy.” This theme challenges NCNW members and<br />
youth to continue achievements for the next 70 years.<br />
It is a tremendous honor for me to have been given<br />
the charge to chair the youth convention. Dr. Height and<br />
Mary McLeod Bethune both stressed that the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Council</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Negro</strong> <strong>Women</strong> must be<br />
an inclusive group that understands the importance <strong>of</strong> nourishing the youth to sustain<br />
growth in this organization. The youth convention committee has worked very hard on<br />
putting together a wonderful and an educational experience for the youth. I would like to<br />
thank the youth planning committee for their hours <strong>of</strong> hard work.<br />
The youth convention will continue the Town Hall Meeting “The War on Girls:<br />
Part III” With a distinguished panel. The Town Hall Meeting will develop an action plan<br />
for the needs <strong>of</strong> girls with future meetings and recommendations. We will also have a<br />
Dorothy I. Height Oratorical Contest and other informative sessions. The youth will have<br />
a visible presence during this convention. Time permitting, all are welcome to attend and<br />
participate in any <strong>of</strong> our youth sessions. Please enjoy all the wonderful events planned<br />
during the convention week and thank you for all your support <strong>of</strong> our youth programs and<br />
may God Bless and keep you.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Zillah Jackson Wesley, LICSW<br />

God gives us joy, that we may give; He gives us joy that we may share.<br />
Sometimes he gives us loads to lift that we may learn to bear. For life is better,<br />
when we give and life is sweeter when we share; heavy loads rest lightly too;<br />
when we have learned to berar and share.<br />
Happy 70th Anniversary<br />
