Teresa Polk, MAJ (Ret), President

Greetings,

​

Welcome to the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) Chapter of the National Association of Black Military Women (NABMW) website.

I am deeply honored and enthusiastic to assume the role as the President of the DMV Chapter for the 2025 term. I want to express gratitude to COL (Ret) Princess Facen who served as the first president of the DMV Chapter. Her commitment and leadership started our journey that began on February 27, 2021, during the Covid-21 epidemic and despite the challenges we faced during that time, our chapter continued to move forward serving in the DMV area.

 

Our mission is to seek out, record, maintain and tell the history and heritage of African American military women who served and who are serving in the United States Armed Forces to tell “HerStory.”

 

The DMV Chapter is in a unique setting serving all branches of the military with numerous stories yet untold. We look forward to bringing those stories to life as we continue to support the mission of NABMW.

 

We invite you to look at our website for more information about our organization and chapter. If you are interested in supporting the mission and goals of NABMW, we hope you will consider joining the DMV Chapter. Teresa A. Polk, President
