You know your events are popular when people don’t want to leave the room. That was the scene yesterday as we wrapped up the CfWBR Research to Roadmap symposium.
The facilities crew was literally taking the room down around us as we continued to share ideas and network.
Check out the Center’s live blog site (yes, CfWBR had its own freelance blogger!), which is sponsored by Verizon (had to plug the sponsors!)
I made a comment at the event that I’ll share with you here:
I thank the center for putting money, time and energy toward this research. No other organization had the gumption to nail down sponsors and commit to this process. And because of that, for the first time in 10 years as a business owner and as a woman of color, I feel heard. Thank you, CfWBR.
If you’re not involved with the center in some way, you should be. Reach out to the organization: 202-638-3060, tell how you can help, ask for the help you need . . . just start talking. Visit the website. Feel free to use my name or the name of this blog as an introductory point. Just do something . . .
