sive public and community rela­
tions- program.

variety of hair styles, including
cornrow braids.

WASHINGTON D.C. - The
African American Women Con­
tractors Association (AA WCA)
kicked-off its first in a erie of
SUCCESS STORIES: CHAlr
LANGES FOR WOMEN IN
TIlE YEAR 2000 with a power
breakfa t featuring nationally
renowed entrepreneur Leatrice
B. McKissack as its keynote
peaker. McKissack is CEO of
the 87-year-old Nashville, Ten­
nessee firm, McKissack and Mc­
Kissack; Architects and
Engineers, the oldest Black ar­
chi tectural firm in the USA. The
breakfast was held on April 21,
1992 at The Club at Franklin
Square, 1300 I Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C.
A model for African­
American women business
owners, McKissack and her
company were recognized by
President Bush in 1990 when he
awarded he the National Female
Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Also, in 1990, the U.S. Small
Business Administration
presented her with the Small
Business 0/ the Year Award.
"AAWCA views its SUC­
CESS STORY series as a beacon
for minority women who en­
vision themselves as CEOs and
executives in male-dominated
industries. We expect to present
successful women who are in-
filtrating formerly male­
dominated worlds for • mal life
study,' role models and mentors,
"said Bertley E. Thomas, Chair,
AA WCA Success Series.
"A HIGHLIGHT of the
breakfast was the recognition by
AA WCA President, Janice
Myers ofKamil Jaami, AA WCA
founder," said Thomas. "Jaami
has been very active in the con­
struction industry for the last 21
years, and has made a positive
contribution to the industry by
forming the Association, which
is in the process of being
launched nationally."
AA WCA was formed to be a
catalyst for change in the white
male-dominated construction in­
dustry by ensuring equity with
regards to African-American
women participating in con­
struction and related trade,
thereby, promoting Black famil y
self-sufficiency. Since its in­
ception, legislators on the local
and national level have re­
quested testimony on the status
of African American women in
the construction industry.
Doris McMillon, Producer,
"From the Heart Ministries"
served as breakfast moderator.
