The purpose and aims of Authorized Committees of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People shall be to improve the political, educational, social, and economic status of African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities; to eliminate racial prejudice; to keep the public aware of the adverse effects of discrimination; to take lawful action to secure the elimination of racial discrimination; to seek legislation and policies at the local level, or at other levels if requested by the State/State-Area Conference or National Office, which advance the programs and policies of the Association; and to oppose legislation and policies which are adverse to the programs and policies of the Association consistent with the efforts of the national organization and in conformity with the Articles of Incorporation of the Association, its Constitution and Bylaws, and as directed by the Board of Directors.
Our committees provide the structure that allows our branch to serve effectively. Members organize programs, respond to community issues, promote civic engagement, and support efforts that protect civil rights and expand opportunity for all residents of Bienville Parish and the surrounding area. Each committee contributes to the NAACP’s ongoing work in education, advocacy, youth leadership, health equity, voter empowerment, and equal access to regulated and public resources.
