A statewide women’s leadership convening hosted by the Black Chamber of Arizona, community, and economic development

Join the Black Chamber of Arizona for a statewide women’s leadership and community convening highlighting the Black women who are on the 2026 Arizona ballot — and the broader movement of Black women shaping civic life, economic development, and community impact across our state.

This is a community gathering, not a political event. There is no endorsement, no fundraising, and no campaign activity on site. The afternoon is built around four things our community has asked for:

•Connection — meet the women leaders shaping Arizona’s future, in one room, in one afternoon

•Conversation — candid dialogue on leadership, service, and economic opportunity

•Civic engagement — learn how to stay involved year-round, not just at the ballot box

•Community — fellowship, networking, and access to the Black Chamber’s statewide ecosystem

What you’ll experience

•Welcome and program introduction from the Black Chamber of Arizona

•Remarks from elected leaders attending in their individual capacities

•Legislative update from Minority Whip Quantá Crews — 2025 National Black Legislator of the Year

•Featured remarks from Sen. Kiana Sears and Vice Mayor Kesha Hodge-Washington

•Moderated roundtable with women on the 2026 ballot

•Community survey and listening session

•Networking reception with Black Chamber members & Leadership

Who should attend

Women in leadership, aspiring leaders, business owners, civic-minded professionals, students, faith and community leaders, and anyone who cares about the future of Arizona. The event is open to all candidates and community members who wish to attend.
