Uncrowned Community Builders Affiliate Program Seeks New Affiliates

In April, 2008, the Institute initiated the Uncrowned Community Builders Affiliate Program.  An Uncrowned Community Builder (UCB) Affiliate is any organization, e.g. an educational institution, museum, community-based organization or municipality that supports the mission and vision of the Uncrowned Queens Institute and agrees to replicate the Uncrowned Community Builders Model, in part or in its entirety.

The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, the Community Action Organization, Erie County Historical Society in Erie, Pennsylvania and the Southern Heights Heritage Center and Museum in Enid, Oklahoma have agreed to become our first affiliates.  Currently, we are working to establish an affiliate partnership with another Buffalo organization.  In the coming months the Uncrowned Community Builders webpage will feature a new map and webpage for Pennsylvania Uncrowned Queens and Kings and an expanded webpage for Oklahoma.
