Conference Overview

The African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center of Iowa is holding its third Women's Leadership Conference. The conference is a celebration of the heritage of African American women in our state, a unique networking event, and a development opportunity for the Museum. The Museum sees this conference as the fulfillment of a promise it made when Iowans supported its construction, that it would provide opportunities for African Americans to come together and celebrate regardless of church, politics, or geographic location. Our primary audience for this conference is African American professional women, a group of people who are wanted and needed by the business community of our state, but for whom there is little supportive infrastructure for building community. However, the conference planning will guarantee that all people who come will find value and benefit from the content.

The Museum anticipates between 300-400 attendees from all walks of life, all corners of the state, with a common desire: to celebrate the accomplishments and future of African American women in Iowa.
