in the near future, a new coordinator will be engaged to continue the annual Sacramento Women of Color Day/Diversity Event with the support of WomenWorldCulture. The primary task of the new coordinator will be to direct the annual Sacramento event with funds provided by WWC.

Local communities, at their discretion, may utilize this theme or their own. Communities everywhere are welcome to contact the International Association for Women of Color Day, a network, not a membership organization for answers to question about the history of the day, available speakers, and sample documents to facilitate their commemorations.
