NAWIC Greater New York Chapter 240

Throughout history, countless brave and trailblazing women have contributed to the progress and development of our society. From advocating for women's rights and gender equality to fighting for civil rights, social justice, and economic empowerment, these women have made a significant impact on our world. Their tireless efforts and unwavering dedication have helped to build a fairer and more just society for all, inspiring countless others to follow in their footsteps. We owe a debt of gratitude to these courageous women, whose contributions have helped to shape our nation into what it is today. NAWIC GNY Chapter 240 takes great pride in working together with a group of exceptional women in New York City. These women are not only making significant contributions to the development and growth of our city, but they also serve as inspiring role models who encourage and empower other women to do the same. We are honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with them and support their efforts toward shaping a better future for our community.
