March 2003 I am pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 15th Annual Conference of the Professional BusinessWomen of California. The tremendous support we have received from you, our members and sponsors, motivates us to continue on our quest to execute our mission: To empower women to achieve their professional and personal vision, by providing the tools, education and inspiration. Let me say a resounding THANK YOU to you all! This year we have focused on listening to the great ideas of our members. We heard your concerns on your ability to grow and thrive in a slow-growing economy. We have taken all of your input and distilled it down to what is promising to be one of the best conferences ever. The theme of this year's conference is - Take Charge! Unleashing Your Potential We have a stellar lineup of 4 dynamic keynote speakers and 17 seminar sessions led by some of the most successful leaders in their fields. Program highlights include: Career Advancement - learn how to jump-start your career and land at the top. Take Care of Yourself - Dr. Judith Reichman, nationally know ABC Medical Correspondent and renowned author, will help you slow down your clock with tips that will help you feel young and looking youthful. Communication - Harvard law school lecturer and Real Simple magazine columnist, Sheila Heen, will walk you through handling difficult conversations at the office and at home effectively. Leadership - join two women at the top of their fields, in innovation and marketing and from the Hollywood scene for a snapshot of what has worked for them with tips you can use to further your own career. Risk Taking - Coming from the BBC London is an extraordinary woman with an extraordinary story of how she rowed across the Atlantic alone. In her book, Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway, Debra Veal tells how to step out on the edge and face any challenge that comes your way. NEW THIS YEAR! PBWC is excited to announce two professional Pre-Conference Seminars from 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm and a Reception on Monday, May 3, 2004, from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. at the Moscone Center. Designed for those seeking the competitive edge, by improving your skill sets, you may choose from two stimulating sessions given by respected and prominent experts. BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR - The PBWC Pacesetters, a corporate awards program recognizing the top Bay Area businesses for women, and the inspiring PBWC Scholarship program. Registration is now open! Go to www.pbwc.org to register online or call 650-548-2424. Sometimes in life we measure ourselves against what we can see and have done so far rather than our ability to use our skills and talents to enable the impossible. I therefore challenge you to, Take Charge! Unleash Your Potential, and join us on May 4th! Sincerely, |
