Oh my gosh, just realized I forgot to publish this blog post…..well, think you’ll like it regardless of my lack of timeliness…
I want to share some things that inspired me from the 2009 California Women’s Conference held in Long Beach CA October 27th. Many of my readers in California are familiar with this largest of women’s conference with attendance of 14,000 women from all walks of life, hosted by California First Lady Maria Shriver and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the nation’s premier forum for women was held again this year at the Long Beach Convention Center.
“The goal of The Women’s Conference is to transform women inside and out – and then empower
them to help transform our world as Architects of Change,” said Shriver. “We encourage women to
pass on the wisdom, life-lessons and the practical tools they have learned to empower other women
to see themselves as capable of making a difference in the world.”
In case you are a new reader you know what a passionate advocate I am for women and I believe the strength and empowerment women gain from this conference is life changing. The bond of women gathered together in empowerment on one another is truly remarkable.
I thought it would be really fun to share some of the “tweets” that tell the story of this great event.
