LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the Springfield Chapter of NAACP! On behalf of the newly elected Executive Committee, I want to thank you for visiting our site. I am excited to serve as the local chapter President of the premier civil rights organization in the U.S. During a time of national centennial celebration and positive developments within our branch, this is an opportune time to become a member and get involved.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the NAACP is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination. For 100 years, the nation\'s oldest civil rights organization built and grew on the collective courage of thousands of people. People of all races, nationalities and faiths united on one premise— that all men and women are created equal.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Since the mid-1960’s, the Springfield chapter of the NAACP has been dedicated to racial equality and community enrichment. One of our goals for 2009 is to further strengthen that outreach with various educational seminars. These include, but are not limited to, financial workshops, multicultural events, youth empowerment conferences and health-based initiatives.
