The F irs t National Confer­
ence on Business Opportuni­
ties fo r Women opened in
Washington. P.C. with approx­
imately 300 women gathered
from across the country to
participate in two days of gen­
eral sessions, workshops and
panels to identify problems
faced by businesswomen and
those expecting to go into bus­
iness, particularly m inority
women, and find ways to solve
the problems.
In her opening remarks Inez
Kaiser, chairwoman of the
conference, and president of
her own consulting firm in
Kansas C ity, said, ’ ’ to a llo f
you women let me cha rge you
that if any of us are to become
a success today we have to
stick together, work together,
support each other and share
our pitfalls. We must help
build and support eachother’ s
businesses and dreams.”
Honorary chairwoman Sally
Peterson, wife of Commerce
Sec re w ry Peter G. Peterson,
said the conference was a his­
to ric fir s t of its kind. She said
she believes m inority women
are facing a fa r less hostile
world today than "th e one
M artin Luther King dared en­
counter.”
John L. Jenkins, d ire cto r of
the Commerce Department’ s
Office of M inority Business
E nterprise, sponsor of the
conference, said one of the
purposes of the conference
was to bring together success­
ful! businesswomenwith those
considering a business career
to share experiences and in­
formation. "O u r program is to
find ways to inc tease opportu­
nities fo r m in o ritie s to open
th e ir own businesses," he
said, ’’ and we are concerned
that women, too, must sha re in
these opportunities."
Other speakers appearing
on the program were A m ita
Young B o s w e ll, executive
chairwoman of the League of
Black Women. Chicago, and
Angie Cabrera, an o fficia l with
the Puerto Rican Forum , Inc.,
New York, and M arion C or-
well. North American public
relations staff o ffice r, Ford
Motor Co. F rances Murphy,
chairman of the board. A fro -
American Newspapers, deliv­
ered the banquet address.
The conference featured a
series of concurrent w ork­
shops under three
theme
areas, "New F ro n tie rs in
Business," "Recognition of
B a rrie rs ,” and "Strategy to
Overcome B a rrie rs ." W ork­
shops, covering varied fields
of business such as construc­
tion. health services, real es­
tate, and manufacturing were
the main vehicles fo r the ex­
change of information among
the participants. Five panel
discussions focused on busi­
ness opportunities for women,
the role of the Federal gov­
ernment, business develop­
ment. opportunities in the p ri­
vate sector, and business fi­
nancial resources. Approxi­
mately 100 women business
leaders served as vice-chair­
women of the conference.

" I can’t believe m y s e lf!"
That's the way Jacquelyn
Morgan of Atlanta sums up the
new person she has become
since completing modeling
school and iirxling hernichein
the business w orld.
The ' ‘ newness’ * is both in­
side and out. Although M rs.
Morgan had long had an inter­
est in cosmetics and hair styl­
ing, itw a sn 'tu n til sheenrolled
in the L 3 . Itepaitm ent of La­
bor’ s WIN program in the
spring of last year that she was
able
to make significant
changes in her own appear­
ances. In tact, the fir s t step
in her participation in WIN was
the correction of acute dental
and skin problems.
Once these d ifficu ltie s had
been handled, M rs. Morgan
began to sense other changes
taking place. “ I liked my looks
fo r the fir s t time in my life,
and this made me want to try
doing some of the things I ’d
been afraid of before.”
Concern over her appear­
ance, however, had by no
means been M rs . Morgan's
only, o r even her biggest,
problem. Soon after her grad­
uation in 1963 from Atlanta’ s
Washington High School, she
m arried. Subsequently, she
and her husband separated, a
move which left completely in
her hands the support of her
th e n -y e a r-o ld son, Leroy
Morgan, J r.
At this point M rs. Morgan
was faced with the double d i­
lemma o fc a rin g fo rL e ro y .J r.
while at the same tim e, trying
to earn a living wage. She
worked as a packer in a food
processing plant, as a machine
operator in a broom factory
and as a teacher’ s aide, b u t
even with the help of welfare
payments, the g o in g was
rough, indeed.
Then, in March of last year,
things began to look up. A case
worker told M rs. Morgan
about the Department of La­
bor’ s WIN program. The goal
of WIN Is to move off welfare
rolls and Into gainful employ­
ment persons who are 16 years
of age o r older« -'who a re re­
ceiving help unde, ’ ’ e Aid to
Fam ilies
w it h l/ependent
Children program.
Potential WIN enrollees are
referred by public welfare
agencies and. when accepted
fo r the program, receive a
number of supportive services
aimed at preparing them fo r
permanent employment. One
of these services in M rs .M o r­
gan’ s case was day care fo r
Leroy. J r .
M rs . Morgan's firs t voca­
tional training ventuie under
WIN was an ib o rtive e ffo rt to
c o m p le t e
a cosmetology
course. Feeling discouraged
in the wake of this unhappy ex­
perience, M rs. Morgan was
sitting in the downtown - A t­
lanta WIN office wondering
what todo next when a program
representative suddenly saw
in her an unexplored possi­
b ility . He noticed she moved
her 5' 8” body with a natural
poise and grace.
"How would you like to study
modeling?" he asked her. A f­
te r a "d o you think 1 could?"
reaction, she began toexudean
enthusiasm which is s till ap­
parent.
In order to get a reading on
the feasibility of such a
course, the representative
sent her to one of Atlanta’ s
outstanding fashion and mod­
eling authorities. Tlusexpert
concluded that M rs. Morgan
had potential.
WIN officials immediately
arranged fo r her to attend the
Fashion Institute of Am erica
fo r three quarters. The Insti­
tute is adivision of Massey Ju­
nior College, Atlanta. That
was in A p ril, 1971 - " A happy
turning point in my life ," says
M rs. Morgan.
By applying herself whole­
heartedly, M rs. Morgan did
well in her courses which in­
cluded merchandising, re ta il­
ing and drama. She made the
dean’ s lis t, in addition to being
nam ed
president of the
school's modeling club. S till
another source of satisfaction
to her was a straight " A ” rec­
ord in drama.
This past summer M r s .
Morgan made the New York
C ity v is it which is a routine
part of the Institute’ s cu rricu ­
lum. The trip included talks
with three modeling agencies,
one of whom asked her to pay
a return v is it after she had
earned more experience.
F o r now, however, Jacque­
lyn Morgan has realized her
immediate goal, to work in re­
tailing while supplementing
her income with occasional
modeling. Bob Gerson, owner
of Kicks and Lids, the Atlanta
men’ s clothing store where
she is employed, says” Jac-
quelyn is our number one sales
person after only a month with
the s to re '"
Gerson adds that M rs . M o r­
gan is one of three models in
a commercial film being pro­
duced as an advertisement for
his store.

By Elizabeth Ann Churchwell
About a month ago I re­
ceived a le tte r from the F o r­
estry Service located in the
Multnomah Hotel, asking me to
come in regarding a training
program cal led PublicService
C areers. A t firs t I was very
hesitant about even taking the
time out to go fo r an interview
because I had been on several
jobs before and none of them
really captured my interest so
that 1 really applied myself.
But after going in and talking
to the interviewer I felt quite
interested and a little excited
about trying it. So about two
days la te r they phoned me and
told me I was one of the
top chosen off the lis t, Of
course I was happy and a little
scared of being a failure again
on a Job, but I went on the
training session anyway.
A fte r being here almost
three weeks, I can honestly
say I have alot of confidence as
well as alot of responsibility
toward my job. I am gradually
learning more about cle rica l
duties, fo re stry techniques,
values and assets, and all the
things which a government job
would require one to learn.
There are so many things that
young people can learn here to
advance th e ir knowledge in
alot of fields of th e ir choice if
they wanted to. I’ m certainly
grateful that I have a wonder­
ful Instructor teaching me all
these valuable things fo r
