The African American Women's Leadership Congress is an organization composed of women who are willing to invest the time and effort required to bring about positive and fundamental change in our community for a better and more prosperous tomorrow.
We have promised to strive for peace within ourselves, our families, our homes, and our communities. We seek out knowledge and endure to understanding.
We treat our sisters with respect and concern. We strive at all times to be our best. We dedicate the hours we spend in these endeavors as a sacrifice -- an offering for the reclamation of our children, a tribute to our ancestors, and progress in our future.
