For me, because I am a woman entrepreneur, have worked extensively with Women’s Business Centers in Boston and S.CA and most of all because of the Girl’s CEO Connection (thank you for mentioning it in your post) the conference and Maria Shriver’s work is so needed. Did you know that the Foundation associated with the Women’s Conference has funded the N.CA. Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative which is a Women’s Business Center training women to be entrepreneurs–not just any women but women from disenfranchised backgrounds in Oakland and the East Bay. They usually have an exhibit at the Women’s Conference.

Also, the session It’s Tine to Learn How To Build Self-Esteem and Leadership in Young Women was fantastic. Seriously I wish it had continued for another half-hour. For the first time in my life I am going to write letters to the panel members, DOVE and Maria Shriver. A letter to thank them for putting the panel on the agenda and then for being part of the panel.

I could go on and on to support your post and the comments. It would be well worth any young woman’s time, especially if you know a high school or college student, to watch the Women’s Conference online now. I may do it just to catch up with the parts I missed or took my focus off.

Thanks so much Robyn,
