Founding Members
We pay homage to and celebrate the Founders of NAPRHSW. Their vision to create an organization that believes in the right of equality of social and economic opportunity. We continue in their footsteps to bring light to practices that restrict opportunities to individuals on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or national origin. We treasure their gift of tenacity and commitment to our families and communities. Thank you...
