February 16, 2011 (San Diego) -- Is San Diego a land of opportunity for black women, or are opportunities for black female leadership dwindling?  Find out at a panel discussion sponsored by San Diego Democratic Women’s Club on Saturday, February 26 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Weingart City Heights Library community room, 3795 Fairmount Avenue in San Diego.

 

The event is free and open to the public.

 

Other questions to be addressed include:
 

• Who will determine when, how, and by whom the concerns of black women are addressed as San Diego undergoes changing demographics, a shifting political terrain, and ongoing economic and educational challenges?
 

• What opportunities remain for black women to assume positions of leadership in our region?
 

Panelists will include African American women in business, nonprofits, education and politics. The panel discussion will be followed by responses from a diverse group of community leaders with a question and answer session.
