The National ECW Board met October 18-21, 2024 in Linthicum Heights, Maryland for the first board meeting of the new triennium. The board meeting agenda was packed with items from reviewing the bylaws to new social justice programming to setting the budget. While there the board voted to donate $1000 to the Anna Julia Cooper School in Richmond, VA.
The school is an independent faith-based school for kindergarten to 8th grade students of limited economic resources, primarily from Richmond’s East End. It is the tradition of the National ECW Board to make a donation to an organization in the Province in which they are meeting. A $1000 donation was also made to Episcopal Relief and Development to aid the victims of Hurricane Helene and Milton. On the last afternoon of the meeting the board took time out to visit the Washington National Cathedral.
For many of the board, this was the first opportunity they had to visit the Cathedral. Although the board began and ended each day in prayer, visiting such a beautiful memorial to God provided a magnificent way to praise the Lord for the blessings of the board and each and everyone of our members sitting in the pews.
