and coordinates workshops
for women and organizes
special events including
weddings and receptions.
Last week, for example,
C&S Associates were
scheduled to conduct a
seminar in Charlotte, en
titled, “A'Seminar For The
Professional Woman".
Mrs. Walker explained
that Today's Woman and
her "business developed
when she had to reassess
her career goals.
"I was employed at
Durham College for 16
years," she said. "1 had to
reassess my career when
Durham College closed. "
For the past 10 years,
Mrs. Walker has been
employed as a visiting lec
turer in the School of
Business at North Carolina
Central University. In addi
tion, she has also been an
instructor at Rutledge Col
lege.
Mrs. Walker said she
organized Today's Woman
in October 1980, with the
idea that women in the
Triangle area would be in
terested in an organization
that would help them im
prove the quality of their
lives.
According to . Mrs.
Walker, the organization
has four purposes. "We
keep women aware of
'hemselves by offering ac
tivities,” she explained.
"We keep them concerned
by discussing issues of im
portance. women are in
formed on city, local
government, and educa
tion by offering seminars
and workshops: and we
keep women active
through political and com
munity activities.
Topics covered in
workshops have included
Money & Management,
Financial Planning, Career
Developraent, Health &
Dress, and Women's
Rights, Opportunities and
Benefits. Persons in related
careers are asked to come
in and speak on the topic
concerning their career.
These workshops and
seminars, Mrs. Walker
says, are what distinguish
Today's Woman from other
community or social
organizations.
"I didn't know of an
organization in Durham
that brought a unity among
women from all w»lks of lie
to improve the quality of
their lives. Most organiza
tions have some type of
established requirements, "
she said. "Our organization
continues to grow in
membership."
Mrs. Walker graduated
from Hillside High School
in 1960. She attended
undergraduate and
graduate schools in The
School of Business at
North Carolina Central
(Jniversity. She is rharried
to Frank Walker, a
business man she
describes as a “busy per
son."
Her most important par
ticipation in organizations
other than Today’s Woman
and her business include
participation at Morehead
Avenue Baptist Church.
