Women in the NAACP (WIN) is an official standing committee of the NAACP.
WIN’s national theme is “Outstretched Hands and Open Hearts to Women and Children. WIN concentrates on the civil rights issues affecting women and children and shall carry out other civil and cultural activities to enhance and fit the needs of the community.
The purposes of WIN are:
to enhance the leadership role of women

to advocate for the positive development of children
to support the on-going work of the NAACP and its units, especially civil and cultural activities to enhance membership. Annual membership dues are $10.
Our local WIN has been successful in sponsoring the Martin Luther King Parade in January, Annual NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet in April, Back to School Rally in July and adopting a family at Christmas in December.
Newly elected Chairperson, Ms. Linda Floyd, believes in the quote of Sheryl Sandberg "Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that the impact lasts in your absence. She strives to enhance the motivation, morale and to identify needed change to create a shared vision guided through by inspiration. My vision is to incorporate a youth leadership empowerment conference. Inclusion and diversity is a priority, we're all in this together.
