Will you help us increase economic opportunities for women? 

Dear Friends:

Join the revolution.

On November 15, 2006 we officially launched the USWCC | National Congress on the Economic Advancement of Women with a press conference in Washington, DC and a national teleconference and webinar reaching out all across America. 

I want to thank the hundreds of women who have stepped up from across the country to join the revolution and take an active role in the USWCC National Congress. I am very excited to announce that we now have representation from 43 states and women from all walks of life – business owners, career professionals, public servants, stay-at-home moms; young women students and retirees! 

Clearly the time is now! Finally, we have our first woman speaker of the house, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. And we have now set the course for strategic change across the board to advance the economic status of women in MY lifetime! 

This isn't a women's issue – this is a family issue and a community issue! And it impacts ALL of us! It will take each and every one of us working together to open the doors of opportunity and advancement for ourselves, for our daughters and for our daughters' daughters. 

So, for those of you who have not signed on as of yet, Register to be part of the ongoing effort. One person can make a difference! 

Thank you for joining us and being part of the solution. The Status Quo Must Go! "Change, Progress and Opportunity," is our mantra for the future.
