Hoke women attend conference
Four Hoke County women have
been selected for the N.C.
Agricultural Extension's first
leadership development program
for rural minority women.
Attending their first Raleigh
seminar July 25-26 were: Delia
Maynor, Rt. 1, Shannon; Bemice
B. McPhatter, 2606 Phillippi
Church Road, Raeford; Carol
Rose Page, Rt. 1 Lumber Bridge;
and Shirley Daniels Rush,
Raeford.
The program will help black and
Indian women, aged 20 to 40, to
develop their leadership skills.
These women will participate in
learning experiences and seminars
over the course of three years, ac
cording to Brenda Foster Allen,
program director.
"Topics in the first two-day
seminar included leadership and
women in rural communities,
developing friendships, leadership
styles and personality types,
changing problems into strengths
and making decisions," said Dr.
Allen.
"My people are in need of
leaders," said Ms. Maynor, a
Lumbee Indian. She plans to pass
on the information and skills she
acquires in local workshops. Ms.
Maynor is involved with the Girl
Scouts of America and is secretary
of the Hoke County Youth Task
Force and an advisor to the Young
Volunteers in Action. She is also a
board member of the N.C. Com
mission of Indian Affairs. She is
active in her church, on the board
of Indian Education Act Program
and belongs to the N.C. Associa
tion of Register of Deeds, the
Hoke County Foster Care Review
Committee and the Hoke County
Council on the Status of Women.
"Several years ago, I was involv
ed with a family planning advisory
council, and it did not go as well as
I would have liked it to have gone.
I believe that with proper leader
ship skills at that time I could have
done things with the group and we
could have made some of the
changes we started out to do," said
Mrs. McPhatter. "I would like to
try to start our family planning
council again." She is presently a
member of the Council on the
Status of Women.
Mrs. Rush and Mrs. McPhatter
both hold B.S. degrees in business
administration and are accounting
clerks. "I would like to know more
about programs that can benefit
my children and others in the com
munity," said Mrs. Rush, who is
involved in church work.
"I feel it will gear me in the right
direction to become a more effec
tive leader in the community and it
will aid in my future plans to one
day become a publically elected of
ficial," Ms. Page said. She plans
to share the skills she learns in
workshops, group discussions and
organizations. Ms. Page has a
B.A. degree in intermediate educa
tion and is a teacher. She is also se
cond vice president of the
Democratic Party in Hoke Coun
ty, a 4-H leader, past Heart Fund
Association secretary, teenage
pageant talent and creative speak
ing chairman, member of the
board of directors of the General
Productions Corporation, a Sun
day School teacher and youth
department assistant director,
usher board president, junior choir
director and church announcer.
The new extension program is
funded by grants from the Z.
Smith Reynolds and R.J. Reynolds
foundations.
