A Word
From Our President
On behalf of the Black Women’s Leadership Council (BWLC), I’d like to welcome you to our website. I’m excited to build on the legacy set in place by our thirteen founding members over 34 years ago.
Today, more than ever, it is imperative we cultivate an environment that celebrates, unites and is inclusive of black women. Our organization is committed to providing programs that increase the participation of black women in leadership roles, economic advancement, entrepreneurial opportunities, and community service. We will accomplish this through our strategic focus areas: Cultivating, Creating, Contributing and Collaborating.
We are pleased to share our history, mission, programs, upcoming events and initiatives for our organization, designed to support our vision of enabling black women to Own Our Own Destiny / Chart Our Own Course.
