Northeast Sectional Director's Message
Greetings,
It is indeed an honor to be the Sectional Director of the Northeast Section during this centennial year. When our four founders met in Washington DC to discuss forming this organization, as the College Alumnae Club, little was it known that we would become a national organization in thirteen years. Therefore, we are now the historic Northeast Section, one of the five Sections that comprise the National Association of University Women located throughout the United States.
The geographic region of the Northeast Section is from Washington D.C. to Maine. At this time we are primarily located in Washington DC to New York. It is my hope to move beyond to other geographic locations within this Northeast Section during my tenure as Director.
The dynamic women of this Section carry out the mandated program of National through very creative means. This Section is dedicated to our youth and we are among the highest in awarding scholarships to students graduating from high schools in our various communities. Our community projects include mentoring youth, tutoring, and literacy projects for adults and youth.
If you are interested in the work we do, and you live in any area where there is a branch, I invite you to contact me at SectionalDirector@nauwnortheast.org, so that you can be referred to the president of the branch closest to you. If perchance, you are beyond New York City and wish to become involved in the great work of this organization, I invite you to contact me so that we can discuss how to go about starting a branch in your area. You can reach me at the contact above contact information.
I look forward to a very productive year and know that we, the historic Northeast Section, will be exemplary in our outreach and delivery of programs.
Sincerely,
Pauline A. Chandler
Northeast Sectional Director
