The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It began as an initiative of the League of Women Voters of the Fairfax Area and the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.
The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Committee is an all volunteer group dedicated to honoring the lives of the suffragists who fought for the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Our vision is to raise awareness and funds to create a memorial that will reflect the strength of the women and the significance of their struggle. The memorial will be located at Occoquan Regional Park, which is administered by the Northern Virginia Park Authority.
The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority enhances the communities of Northern Virginia and enriches the lives of their citizens through the conservation of regional, natural and cultural resources. It provides diverse regional, recreational and educational opportunities, and fosters an understanding of the relationship between people and their environment.
