National Black Women's Network (NBWN)

Wed 8th Oct '08 6.00pm to 8.30pm

The NBWN is a non-profit organisation dedicated to raising the status and position of black women in all walks of life.
We champion the advancement of black women across all professional disciplines by recognising excellence, promoting leadership and effectively positioning its members at the forefront of the rapidly changing corporate and business world.
The National Black Women's Network provides dynamic events to enable women from diverse backgrounds and occupations to develop strong professional and social contacts; high quality training and education programmes; leadership and national recognition.
We work to ensure that the contributions and influence of black women are recognised as vital forces within the public and private sector, business, corporate, arts, media and entertainment fields.

The NBWN has become a strategic partner with the "BAME Women Council-lors Taskforce‟ which is a cross party representation of groups who will take practical action to increase the diversity of councillors within the UK.

This network will be aimed at Minority Ethnic business women from around the West Midlands.

Led by Baroness Uddin, this exciting team will kick off a series of events start-ing on Friday 17th October 2008 at the Second City Suite, Birmingham City Council between 6:00pm & 8:30pm.

The Keynote presentation will feature Salma Yagoob (RESPECT) and will be supported by elected representatives and guests. Speakers on the night will provide in-depth information of how Government is structured and how you can become more actively involved in local politics.
