Sponsors & Vendors
For over a decade the National Faculty Women of Color in the Academy Conference (FWCA) has been the leading professional development experience for women of color in higher education. Each year hundreds of women from across the country attend FWCA to engage with and learn from other women in the Women of Color Scholar network. Support from sponsors like you allows us to continue to increase access by keeping registration prices below 40% of the actual cost per attendee. It is because of your generosity that we are able to deliver high quality programming at no additional cost to attendees and participants.

The FWCA Vendors' Hall will be located at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA and will be open April 11, 2024 - April 14, 2024. Registration is due by March 20, 2024 or until spaces are filled. If you need assistance with registration please contact Jeneen Preston at pjeneen7@vt.edu.
