Event of Interest: Women & Power Conference

I recently came across the "Women & Power Conference" that is being held September 21 - 23 in Rhinebeck, NY. There is a  scholorship offered, due 8/1. Check out the website for more conference details and for information on other workshops the Omega Center offeres througout the year. A description of the conference is below.

At this year’s Women & Power conference, creative and courageous women are brought together to inspire you to plot your own breakthrough path—one of change, growth, and innovation—at home, at work, and in the world.

The conference is an exploration and celebration of what is possible when women trust their inventiveness to solve some of humanity’s most pressing problems. In keynotes, panels, conversations, and breakout workshops, we hear from women who are using their power and passion to make real change. Prepare to be inspired to make a difference in your own corner of the world.
Scholarships are available; please apply by August 1, 2012.
