Women of color are invited to attend a forum created "to identify barriers to business growth and to develop action plans to overcome them".
The first of the four-part series will take place in Philadelphia on February 21st from 9-5pm at the Courtyard Marriot. Future forums will take place throughout 2007 in Atlanta, GA; San Francisco, CA; and Dallas, TX. Once the project is finished, the results from the study will be presented at a 2008 conference addressing female of-color entrepreneurs.
Women of color entrepreneurs are invited to apply to participate in this groundbreaking study. Selection criteria include owning a business that is at least 50% women-owned with annual revenues between $250,000 and $5 million in any industry. Women of color entrepreneurs who meet the criteria and want to participate may contact the Center for Women's Business Research, by calling 202-638-3060, ext. 710, or on-line at http://www.womensbusinessresearch.org/womenofcolor.
