In 1897, Alice R. Morgan, an illustrator for New York publishers, designed the League's original insignia, the owl, symbolic of wisdom, placed in a triangle formed by a red pen, a blue pencil and a white brush, colors of the American flag.

The Florida State Association has taken on a new and exciting challenge by developing a series of community outreach programs and workshops. The objectives are three-fold: to promote the standing of the NLAPW throughout the state of Florida; to engage in educational and charitable activities in art, letters and music; and to offer quality programming designed to promote creativity and enhance branch membership.

Aminta Konawicz, Coral Gables Branch, has been appointed State Outreach Coordinator to administer the program for the 2006 - 2008 administration.
