WASHINGTON, May 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) is thrilled to announce the appointment of Colleen Nolan as State Director for Illinois. As State Director for CWA of Illinois, Colleen will work with the approximately 12,000 members in the state to build additional Prayer/Action Chapters and coordinate CWA's grassroots activities in legislation and media. Colleen has served with CWA since 2004 as the leader of CWA's Orland Prayer/Action Chapter, which is dedicated to engaging in national and local issues through praying and providing practical action to impact those issues. She helped develop a PowerPoint presentation explaining current threats to America's national sovereignty, and has experience in philanthropic work, particularly nonprofit donor development and fundraising and providing advice and help for women experiencing financial difficulty in divorce.
Colleen's goals as CWA's volunteer State Director of Illinois include building a strong network of Prayer/Action Chapters across the state, promoting Biblical values in the legislature, continuing to build a strong steering committee to assist in state leadership, and reaching out to Illinois communities to support pro-family policies.
CWA's goals are to preserve the eternal values that support the Biblical design of the family, protect life at all stages, fight pornography and obscenity, tackle the declining quality of education, support the rights of individuals to pray and live according to Biblical principles, and safeguard America's sovereignty while promoting pro-family policies in international venues like the United Nations.
"Colleen Nolan has a delightful nature, knowledge of pro-family issues and willingness to boldly speak out and serve others. Her deep commitment to promoting Biblical principles through prayer and action will make her a force for good in Illinois," stated Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women for America.
Beverly LaHaye founded CWA in 1979. Since that time, CWA has become the nation's largest public policy women's organization. Its mission is to protect and promote Biblical values among all citizens—first through prayer, then education, and finally by influencing our society—thereby reversing the decline in moral values in our nation.
