You are cordially invited to participate in the 2007 Minority Women’s Health Summit, Women of Color: Addressing Disparities, Affirming Resilience, and Developing Strategies for Success. The Summit will be held August 23-26, 2007, at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.

This Summit is the third (1997, 2004) to address health disparities among women of color living in the United States. The goal of this Summit is to focus on the often unrecognized threats to health experienced by women of color, by 1) building on knowledge gained in previous conferences and identifying distinct health issues disproportionately impacting minority women; and 2) highlighting successful models of health promotion and prevention.

The 2007 Summit will accomplish these goals primarily through action-oriented, skills-building workshops, where the participant will be given tools, skills, or resources to better reach their target population. The workshop format is an important feature that will provide greater opportunities for collective group thinking and creative problem-solving. The Summit is expected to draw over 500 participants with diverse backgrounds representing community- and faith-based organizational leaders, public health advocates, minority women’s health coalition directors, and consumers.
