As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Ferguson is celebrating the work of organizations like the National Coalition of 100 Black Women<\/a>. This organization has a powerful vision to see black women and girls live in a world where socioeconomic inequity does not exist. Ferguson has extended its community partnership with the National Coalition of 100 Black Women to continue working toward this goal and furthering their mission.<\/p>\n

For over 40 years, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women advocates for gender equity and is committed to developing black women and girl leaders. The partnership has fostered an in-depth understanding of the power of diverse perspectives. Ferguson believes that fostering a workplace inclusive of different ideas and backgrounds makes the company a more enjoyable place to work and helps us find success in the ever-changing business landscape.<\/p>\n

Shared Values
<\/h3>\n

<\/lazyweboembedimage>\u201cNCBW is excited to extend our partnership with Ferguson\u2019s African American Business Group to increase talent development and skill building in preparation for success and its Women\u2019s Business Group to encourage Women to explore business opportunities,\u201d stated President Elizabeth A. Jones. \u201cNCBW will provide awareness to the communities we serve to share more information about Ferguson’s excellent workforce readiness skills opportunities to help individuals meet and exceed their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to form a strategic partnership with the NCBW and align our shared values to continue the impactful work the organization is engaging in on behalf of black women and girls nationally,\u201d said Cathy Williams, Senior Business Diversity Manager at Ferguson.<\/p>\n

Building on past success, NCBW and Ferguson will team up to support underserved and underrepresented minorities through training and workshops focusing on NCBW\u2019s core initiatives. Specific focus will be given to online leadership certification and seminar training programs for women in the community, NCBW members and NCBW100LEAD Academy candidates. The partnership also seeks to increase talent development and skill building within both organizations and collaborate on our shared work with Historically Black Colleges and Universities.<\/p>\n

Promoting Diversity
<\/h3>\n

NCBW plays an active role in promoting women in leadership and works to help shape and define positions for women locally and globally. Last year, nearly 20,000 youth were served in NCBW’s mentoring and STEM programs, and more than 175,000 individuals attended workshops, trainings and events. NCBW also awarded $800,000 in financial aid for students. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion among our associates,\u201d explained Melissa Hazelwood, Director of Social Impact at Ferguson. \u201cCollaborating with an organization with such an impressive record of service and leadership is an honor. We will support their efforts and look forward to leveraging their expertise and insight to promote greater inclusion, diversity and acceptance within Ferguson, constructing a workplace that reflects the communities we help build.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferguson\u2019s partnership with NCBW is part of its Ferguson Cares mission to strengthen the communities it serves. The company places a priority on the wellbeing our its associates and its neighbors and is committed to living in an inclusive and diverse community. <\/p>\n
