Black Women's Civic Engagement Network
THE BLACK WOMEN'S CIVIC ENGAGEMENT NETWORK (BWCEN)
Founded in 2008, the BWCEN is a non-profit Ottawa-based network of active professionals, academics and entrepreneurs working to promulgate the contributions of women to Canadian civil society. The BWCEN hopes that the acknowledgment and recognition of women who are transforming Canadian society will act as a catalyst to engage, motivate and inspire women to consider the role they can play in strengthening the civic fabric of Canada.
In 2013, the Black Women's Civic Engagement Network (BWCEN)
is proud to mark its 5th Anniversary and continues to strive to
expand its support and offerings to the community. As part of this celebration, BWCEN hopes that YOU will be able to take part in one or more of the exciting future events that we will be offering, and experience firsthand the pride we take in supporting our cause of
recognizing the achievements and contributions of women in our
community.
In order to meet our mission and achieve our goals of recognition of excellence, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses for support. Without the assistance of community-minded individuals, we would not be able to serve and honour those outstanding individuals in our community each year.
Our annual International Women’s Day Awards Reception will take place in March 2013. BWCEN’s goal is to raise funds that will be used to proudly honour and recognize women in our community who are clearly leaders and achievers. In order to meet this goal, we are asking for sponsorships from local businesses and individuals.
