Long Island, NY Chapter Executive Director Recognized for Lifetime Achievement

On June 11, 2022, the Long Island, NY Chapter Executive Director, Patricia Williams, received the award for Lifetime Achievement during one of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NCBW) 40 Years Anniversary Celebrations on SUNY Farmingdale’s college campus.

Patricia continues to lead a life of service, currently being an active Charter member, President Emeritae, and NCBW United Nations/Non-Governmental Organization Global Unit Representative.

The award was presented by NCBW/LI Chapter President Wilma Holmes Tootle, who is also a board member of the national NCBW.

The Long Island, NY Chapter of Partners of the Americas was initiated by SUNY Farmingdale 40 years ago, and soon after, the NCBW/Long Island Chapter became, and has been, an active Collaborative member continuously for those 40 years. The Long Island, NY Chapter presented the current College President, John Nader, a Certificate of Appreciation from the Long Island Partners Chapter for its enormous 40 years of support at the Chapter meeting in October 2021. Over those 40 years, the College participated in more than 245 exchanges between Long Island, NY and St. Vincent and the Grenadines faculty, students, and community professionals. 

Upon reflection on her experience, Patricia says, “I am also proud to add that Partners of the Americas and SUNY Farmingdale were truly supportive of my amazing W.K. Kellogg opportunity to become a member of Fellows II. I am truly blessed, honored, and privileged!”
