The Beginning

 

On September 6, 1975, Robert L. Clayton, President of the Association of Non-White Concerns (ANWC), a division of the American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA), sent letters to members of ANWC in Texas requesting their permission to serve as members of a task force to pass the word that there would be a special event schedule for the TPGA meeting in Brownsville, Texas in October 1975.

 

ANWC members in Texas and  other interested in becoming charter members of TexANWC met for a “Rainbow Breakfast” on Thursday, October 6 at the Valley Inn at 7:00 a.m. during the 1975 TPGA Conference.  Bob Clayton discussed the requirements for receiving a charter from ANWC.  Among those present were Gloria Paige, Flora D. Nauls, Opera Anderson, Margaret Etchinson, Alice Cox, Allie Hillard and Doris Howard.  Plans were made to establish a Texas division of ANWC by the1977 APGA Convention in Dallas.

 

Gloria Paige, Department of Education at Texas Southern University, contacted Dr. John McQuary, President of TPGA and the Board of Directors for their endorsement and to obtain the necessary information for becoming a state division.  During the 1976 TPGA Convention, the TexANWC Interest Group met on Thursday, October 14 in room #1037 of the Sheraton Hotel, Fort Worth, Texas.  The purpose of the meeting was to solicit charter members for the state division.  Twenty-seven persons were present.  The interim officers selected were:  president, Gloria Paige; President-elect, Dr. I. C. Gordon; and secretary/treasurer, Flora D. Nauls.  Committee chairs included:  membership, Alex Prince; and Bylaws, Doris Anderson.

 

Flora D. Nauls reported that TPGA Senate voted to accept TexANWC as a state division pending the presentation of the membership roll and the proposed Bylaws by December 1, 1976.  Members writing the proposed Bylaws were Doris Anderson, Margaret Etchinson, Allie Hillard, Sarah Burnett, Mazie Mack, Flora D. Nauls and Mattiegene Fowler.

 

Gloria Paige sent all necessary documents to the TPOGA Board of Directors and the ANWC Council.  TexANWC received its charter during the ANWC luncheon in Dallas on March 8, 1977.
