Greetings,

It is my pleasure and honor to invite you to the Northeast District’s 61st conference We are coming together as sisters, after four years in person to rejuvenate ourselves as we move forward in this 21st century Under our district conference theme, “Breaking Barriers and empowering future generations”, we will continue to promote and protect the vision of our seven visionary founders.

As your Governor for the past three years, it has been my pleasure to serve the most critical thinking, outstanding and resilient sisters in this entire association. Your ability to collaborate to provide outstanding programs to our community at large, and your ability to think outside of the box to provide internal training within the Association is beyond measurable. I am indeed proud of your many accomplishments as we provide scholarships and impactful, innovative programs throughout this district. We are four hundred and forty-three (443) members strong and like the seven visionary founders we will continue to move forward with purpose

This 61st Northeast District conference will bring us closer together as we embark on the journey of going “back to basics”. Remembering the commitment, we made at the time of our induction –our pledge and mission stand clearly in our thoughts, it’s a constant reminder of why we became a member of this Association. We continue to strive and promote business and professions, while also being a source of information for our youth.

So, I salute each clubs leadership, and all my sisters within this district, as you provide innovative, impactful programs to all. We look forward to you coming to Connecticut in June to take part in our 61st Northeast District conference, where we will engage with each other over two days, and continue to develop the leadership of our sisters

A special thank you to the sisters who have stepped up to chair committees or work on the committees to make this event successful. I am indeed proud to be your governor as we continue to move forward with a purpose.

Resolutions

Dear Club Sisters,

March 1, 2024

It is my honor and pleasure to serve as your Northeast District Resolutions Chair at our NED Conference Meeting. The Northeast District of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, Inc. Conference Meeting will be held on Saturday, June 20 - 23rd, 2024.

It is time for us to begin the process of formulating Resolutions to be presented to the Northeast District membership at the NED Conference Meeting.

A Resolution is what a proposal or opinion seeks to become. It is through a Resolution that members speak out and decisions are made. Some Resolutions have a timeline and other Resolutions are permanent, as they become a part of the Bylaws. A Resolution may be submitted by a single member, several members or by a club.

When developing your resolutions, please make your ideas as clear and concise as possible.

The deadline for receiving Resolutions is Wednesday May 1, 2024. Please return the resolution to me using the email address listed on the Resolution form.

Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.

Yours In

Sisterhood, Thretha D. Green Thretha D. Green President, New Haven Club 61st District Conference 61st NED Conference Resolution Chair
