Membership in the Metropolitan Nashville Chapter is by invitation only and is extended to those women who exhibit outstanding ethical character, integrity, proven leadership skills and have marked accomplishments in their respective professions, along with a demonstrated commitment to purposeful advocacy and service within the community.

To join the Coalition, a current member in good standing must sponsor you and one additional current member in good standing is required to endorse the sponsorship. Along with that is a selective application review, non-refundable applicable fee and interview process. Membership is contingent upon recommendation by the Coalition’s Membership Committee with final approval by a majority vote of current chapter members in good standing.

The Coalition is an organization comprised of dynamic women who make valuable contributions to women of color, particularly African American women, and their families through advocacy and service. The benefits of membership are intrinsic in value and can only be measured by how we favorably impact others in need.
