On behalf of the women of NCBW OBAC, I am honored to welcome you and share the heart of our chapter. NCBW OBAC is a dynamic community of professional women committed to advocacy, leadership, and service that uplifts Black women, families, as well as the broader community we serve.

Our chapter is grounded in a proud legacy of collective action and purpose-driven work. We believe deeply in the power of sisterhood and the responsibility we have to lead with integrity, compassion, and courage. Every initiative we undertake is guided by our commitment to economic empowerment, educational advancement, health equity, civic engagement, and social justice. These priorities are not abstract ideals—they are reflected in the programs we design, the partnerships we build, and the lives we impact.

NCBW OBAC is more than an organization; it is a network of women who lead in their professions and serve with intention in the community. Through mentoring, scholarships, community education, and advocacy efforts, we work to create opportunities today while laying the foundation for generational progress tomorrow. Our chapter thrives because of the dedication, expertise, and passion of our members, who consistently show up ready to serve and lead.

We also recognize that meaningful change happens through collaboration. Our chapter values strong partnerships with community organizations, businesses, and civic leaders who share our vision for equity and empowerment. Together, we amplify our impact and extend our reach.

As Chapter President, I am incredibly proud of the work we do and the women who do it. I invite you to learn more about our chapter, support our initiatives, and consider joining us in this important work. When women come together with purpose, the possibilities are limitless.

With gratitude and resolve,

Shari Wooldridge
Chapter President, Oakland Bay Area Chapter
