This year marks the 20th Anniversary for the National Women’s Conference and Awards Luncheon. For the past 20 years we have had excellent programs and workshops providing you with the best information on a wide variety of topics, including health, education, politics. Our speakers and presenters have been the best of the best.

This year’s conference theme is “Her Story”, women telling of their paths to success, both the good and the hardships that they faced along the way. We have already confirmed the participation of two university professors, who are excited about sharing their story with us. There will be other renowned speakers and workshop leaders.

At the Awards Luncheon, we will have door prizes and souvenirs and all attendees will have a chance to win. This is our way of saying thank you for your support over the past twenty years.
