NCNW Announces the Passing of Sister Diane Larche'

Dear NCNW Family,

It is with great sadness that NCNW announces the passing of National Membership Co-Chair Diane Larché. Considered a PR maven, Sister Larché’s extensive knowledge in public relations, advertising and marketing made her a distinguished member of Atlanta’s business and entertainment communities.

In her spare time, she served as president of the NCNW Greater Atlanta Section, NCNW National Executive Board Member, a Legacy Life Member, and a member of one of NCNW’s affiliate organizations, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Our prayers remain with Sister Larché’s family, friends and all who mourn this loss.

National Council Negro Women (NCNW) is an “organization of organizations,” comprised of 330 campus and community-based sections and 33 national women’s organizations that enlightens, inspires, and connects more than 2,000,000 women and men. Its mission is to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families, and communities. It was founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, an influential educator and activist, and for more than fifty years, the iconic Dr. Dorothy Height was president of NCNW.

Today, the NCNW programs are grounded on a foundation of critical concerns that are now “NCNW Priorities.” Our organization promotes education; encourages entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and economic stability; educates women about health and promotes healthcare access, and promotes civic engagement and advocates for sound public policy and social justice.
