Chapter:  

Start a Chapter

NHBW presently has 17 chapters, 1 Junior Chapter and 1 chapter that is in the process of organizing (indicated by an asterisk in the above dropdown list), and is steadily growing. If you or your church or organization is interested in starting a Local Chapter in your area, contact NHBW today by phone at 773-667-7061 or via email at newchapter@nhbwinc.com. You will receive all the materials and assistance needed to get your chapter up and running.

Member-at-Large

NHBW's goal is to affect the community at its source. We achieve this goal by empowerment at the local level, for who better to see and address needs than those who are part of the community.

For those persons who want to become a part of and support the work of NHBW, but who may live in a community or state without a local chapter, we have created the Member-at-Large membership status. The women of NHBW are unswerving in their commitment to reach women on issues that affect their wellbeing, such as healthcare, family, education, economic equity, and protection against violence. And as a Member-at-Large, you become a member of this dynamic group of women who are making a difference in the lives of women and their families across the United States.

Members-at-Large (MALs) live throughout the United States. They support and participate in NHBW causes and enjoy many of the privileges of membership, which include a quarterly newsletter, member-only access to the website, an NHBW T-shirt, information on upcoming national events, networking opportunities, an invitation to the Annual Conference, an NHBW, Inc. membership card and pin, and participation in chapter activities near your area.
