Ghana to be Africa’s Headquarters for The World Conference of Mayors, Inc

A Booker T. Washington/George Washington Carver International Training Conference was held in Tuskegee, Alabama, from May 1 to 3.

The Honorable Johnny Ford, Founder of WCM, hinted that Ghana would become the Africa Headquarters of this Prestigious global network of Mayors, officials, and organizations. This decision follows their partnership with RAIN Foundations, an International Missions-Based organization headquartered in Ghana. 

Among the speakers for this special occasion was the founding president of Relevant Achievers Impacting Nations (RAIN), Raphaelle Antwi, known widely as Author Ralph. 

In his presentation, he emphasized the need for society to give attention to matters regarding appreciation, authority, foundation, legacy, and succession. 

Author Ralph charged all the dignitaries present to be conviction-driven rather than convenience-driven, citing examples of his experiences over the last 28 years of leadership. He also encouraged the need to do more and talk less. 

Honorable Jimmie Gardner, president of The World Conference of Mayors Inc. formally passed a motion to officially concretize their partnership with Relevant Achievers Impacting Nations. Everyone present yessed the motion.

The two organizations will host the National Youth Shakers Conclave & Awards on June 19. Juneteenth is a public holiday in the United States to commemorate the end of slavery.
