others get better, will be converging
on the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 17 and 18 for
Celebrating the Superwoman in You, a women's conference
inviting women to rise up, stand up, and lift another woman up.
"I am passionate about the
empowerment of women," said founder Jil Greene. "Too many
women find themselves in situations that they don't know how to get
out of. Sometimes, the right information, the right tool, the right
connection can make all the difference in putting together a plan
that can change a woman's life. What we plan to do at Celebrating
the Superwoman in You is provide that information, provide the
tool, provide the connection so women can make the plan."
The conference begins at 4:00pm on Friday, May
17. The event kicks off with a high powered networking session with
some of New Orleans top women leaders in Corporate America, Business,
Law, Education, Finance, Health and Community. It will also include
live music & entertainment, dramatic productions directed by
Jacqueline Fleming (actress from Abraham Lincoln, Contraband, Woman
Thou Art Loose), General Sessions and a late night pajama party where
the women will participate in a dinner reception called "Real
WYENing Conversations After Dark".
Saturday workshops tackle topics that describe a
Super Woman: A Super Woman: Makes Time for Her God, Mentors Others,
Markets Herself, Masters Relationship (Marriage/Single), Minds Her
Money, Maximizes Her Health, Motivates herself, Makes Her Mark
