THE CHRONICLE
Members of National
Women of Achievement
Inc.'s (NWOA) Southeast
Region recently gathered at
Friendship Baptist
Church, 1317 N. Cherry
St., for their 23rd Biennial
Conference. The presiding
officer was Achiever
Shirley B. Eaton, Regional
Director. The theme was,
"Striving for Excellence in
Everything We Do."
NWOA, Inc. was
founded by Achiever Dr.
Maudest Wall Stewart of
Houston, Texas in 1975.
She had a dream of a lega
cy for tremendous opportu
nities for women to make
outstanding contributions
to the welfare of one anoth
er, our youth, and our coun
try. She shared her dream
with Achievers Judge Alice
A. Bonner and the now
deceased Achievers Josie
B. Taylor, Ozell Taylor
Johnson, Eddie M.
Johnson, Stella Collins,
Lorene B. Lancelin and Dr.
Hortense W. Dixon. Since
that time, chapters have
been organized throughout
the United States. Members
?are known as Achievers.
NWOA's purpose is: to
encourage youth to strive
for high morals and
scholastic standards in the
career fields of their
choice; to provide scholar
ships, support, and guid
ance for youth; to inspire
women to excel in their
chosen profession; to influ
ence the membership to
become an active part in
community activities; and
to improve the status of
women in all phases of.life.
Achievers from the six
chapters in the Southeast
Region started the confer
ence with a continental
breakfast followed by the
business of the day.
Chapter representatives
shared chapter past events
which included: donations
to the homeless, book and
school supplies donations,
spring dances for the Youth
Achievers, bingo for sen
iors, volunteering at the
polling sites, Purse Project
for women in shelters, col
lege day outings for the
youth and a sponsored golf
tournament. Upcoming
events were also shared
with attendees.
The Southeast Region
director, Achiever Shirley
B. Eaton, shared her vision
for NWOA's premiere
event, CONWOA, sched
uled to take place July 19
23, 2017, in Winston
Salem.
After lunch, the guest
speaker was Linda Sutton,
Central Piedmont
Organizer with Democracy
NC, who provided startling
statistics and educational
insights about North
Carolina's new voting law,
the Souls to the Polls initia
tive, and who can vote and
how to vote.
The day ended with
planning session strategies,
fun and games and picture
poses.
City wins 2015 Employee Safety Awards
from the N.C. Department of Labor
SPECIAL TO
THE CHRONICLE
City departments and
facilities received 34 gold
and 12 silver awards in the
N.C. Department of
Labor's annual safety
awards program. The
awards recognized city
departments or city facili
ties with 10 or more
employees that achieved
and maintained good safety
records during 2015, and
maintained accurate
wmsmmMrai
I I
records for the
Occupational Safety and
Health Administration.
To qualify for an annual
safety award, a city depart
ment or facility must have
had no fatalities during the
calendar year at the site or
location for which the
award was given and have
maintained an injury and
illness rate at least 50 per
cent below the national
average for its particular
industry group.
Gold awards are based
on the DART rate, a stan
dardized calculation used
by OSHA and other regula
tory agencies to compare
statistically significant
data. DART stands for
Days Away, Restrictions
and Transfers, and is a
measure of injury and ill
ness per 200,000 work
hours for 100 full-time
equivalent employees. It
measures days lost as well
as days a worker is on
restricted duty or trans
ferred to other duties
because of an injury or
work-related illness.
Silver awards are based
on the CDAW rate, which
stands for injury and illness
Cases with Days Away
from Work, but does not
include restricted activity.
Nick Webster, the city's
risk administrator, said,
"Although winning awards
is great, and we should cel
ebrate, our biggest reward
should be in knowing that
these awards represent
many accidents and
injuries that never hap
pened."
