DAVID ON 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. For ticket information, call (703) 9�0-3856. t. Need Information about Businesses? Call the Business INFOLINE!
