The celebration marked the culmination of a powerful recruitment and orientation season, as ten phenomenal women joined the ranks of advocates committed to NCBW’s mission of leadership, advocacy, and empowerment. The event was filled with warmth, reflection, and pride as members came together to honor the spirit of service that defines the Greater Cleveland Chapter.
