EVENT DESCRIPTION

Learning to be present is not easy. Focusing on the here and now can feel impossible with so many thoughts taking up your headspace. If you can tune out these ruminations, there are benefits to bringing your full attention to the current moment. This year’s Women’s Conference is dedicated to helping us all be more present!

Join us for an inspiring day of personal and professional development, where you’ll connect with like-minded women, grow your skills, and prioritize your well-being!

12 different sessions including:

  • Women in Leadership – Breaking New Ground
  • Motivation in the Workplace
  • Wealth-Building for Women
  • Hear and Now: Discover the Benefits of Being Present
  • Yoga and Meditation
  • Entrepreneurship and Economic Empowerment

EVENT GOALS

  • This conference is to be an all-inclusive event for women of all backgrounds and ages, and it will ensure all feel welcome
  • Women will gain tools to progress in their personal and professional lives
  • Women will know what it takes to empower the next generation of women
  • Women will learn that self-care is very important to overall health and well-being and that it is OK to take care of themselves!
  • Women will gain personal insights to help them in their daily lives
  • This will be a time of camaraderie as women gather together
  • Women will gain an understanding of how important it is to be prepared financially for the present and the future
  • Women will laugh together and remember that that is sometimes all they need to feel better
  • Women will come away from the event knowing they are not alone; they have sisters to learn from and draw upon for inspiration to grow both personally and professionally
  • Women will make connections that will last beyond the conference

CHARITY PARTNERS

We welcome Mom’s House as our Charity Partner.

Mom’s House is a non-profit organization, whose mission is to help economically disadvantaged single parents complete their education in order to become financially stable. It is our belief that investing in a single mother’s educational completion is an underutilized strategy for reducing poverty. This short-term investment will positively impact multiple generations. College graduates are more likely than those without college degrees to be employed; have access to employer sponsored benefits such as health insurance and retirement savings; have higher lifetime earnings; become tax payers instead of tax takers; patronize local businesses; etc. In addition, a mother’s postsecondary educational attainment increases the likelihood that their children will attend college themselves.

We believe in giving back to women.
