Greetings from Vivian L. Smith It is with a spirit of thankfulness, great joy and gladness that I greet all Delegates, Affiliates, Corporate Sponsors, Partners and Visitors to the 52 nd National Convention and the 70 th Founder’s Day of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. Welcome to what has been planned as a historic review of our achievements and challenges over the 70 years since Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune’s vision to organize a national “organization of organizations”. Dr. Dorothy I. Height has continued the vision with strategies that have led to expanded services focusing on health, education, economics, the family, social issues and technology. The agenda for 52 nd National Convention will serve to remind us of where we have been, how far we have come on our journey and will help us begin to chart the course for our future. This is indeed a special time in our history. We have tried to highlight significant historical events. The Dorothy I. Height Leadership Institute and workshops have been designed to focused on issues relevant to NCNW’s growth and development. With renewed commitment, we will work during the Convention towards devising solutions to present day challenges and issues that are in keeping with the mission and goals of our great Council. The Founder’s Day observance will acknowledge those “on whose shoulders we stand” while recognizing the commendable service of our National Affiliates, State Conveners and Community Base Sections. NCNW is the sum of the contributions of all of our members!! Thanks to each individual and group for the contributions that you continue to make in advancing the mission and goals of our Council. On a personal note, I would like to thank Dr. Height for allowing me the opportunity to work with some of the most committed and dedicated people on this earth— I salute the 2005 Convention Planning Committee and thank them individually and collectively for giving of their time and talents in planning NCNW’s 52 nd National Convention.
