History 

The Northeast District of NANBPWC, Inc. is a not-for-profit community service organization comprised of the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Northern New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and the island of Bermuda. It is the largest of the seven districts that make up the national association, and it was organized in 1959. 

The forty clubs in our District have been engaged in a variety of community service projects over the years including mentoring, voter registration drives, health screenings, adopt-a-school programs, Scholastic Aptitude Test preparation, domestic violence, blood drives, career fairs and working with senior citizens. Clubs also provide financial support to the United Negro College Fund and the District offers a scholarship for female undergraduate students age twenty-five and over. 

The members of the Northeast District encourage interest in culture and the arts. Each December the District hosts the Showcase of Vocal Artists at Carnegie Hall where we feature the talents of young vocalists pursuing careers in classical music.  On the international front we have opened a health care facility in the Village of Apatrapa in Ghana, West Africa, and have provided support in Benin, Nigeria and Tanzania, just to name a few.  We have given monetary donations and have sponsored programs that have helped to improve the economic conditions for our brothers and sisters in the Motherland.

Northeast District membership meetings are held in September, November, January, March and May. Each June, the District hosts a conference. Past conference sites include Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Bermuda and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.  At each conference District members come together and have the opportunity to conduct District business, participate in professional growth and development workshops and network with one another.

The members of The Northeast District of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc. are committed to improving the local community and society at large.
