2009 was a good year for AWC. We had a total of ten events, two of which were uncharted waters for us but nevertheless successful--the Community Summit on Leadership held in September and the Mini Business Fair added to our Annual Holiday Celebration. Both events drew a lot of interests and we are looking forward to repeating (at some level) again this year.
The total number of event participants was 132 (79-unduplicated), 62% were new to the organization and 38% returning participants. Average meeting attendance was 13 people and the highest attendance was 36. Participants hailed from 12 different countries; 46% from the West African region, 33% from the East African region, 2% from the South African region, 1% from Central African region and 18% were non Africans.
We view 2009 as a come-back year for AWC and are hoping to keep the momentum going in 2010. Our #1 goal in 2010 is to grow our membership and become more effective.
We appreciate your interest and encourage your support as we strive to provide more opportunities for African Women immigrants to build relationships for success.
