The Women’s PowerStrategy™ Conference 2013 Call for Speakers

Dear Potential Speaker:

Thank you for your interest in  The Women’s PowerStrategy™ Conference 2013. Our mission is to  gather together leaders from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise who join forces “to educate and inspire women of all ages to believe and invest in their own talent, skills, and potential.”

Our speakers are all experts in their fields who volunteer their time by either being on a panel or conducting an individual session and then taking the time to answer questions and speak with our attendees. All speakers are also invited to attend the after conference reception with a personal guest. Speakers will have breakfast and lunch courtesy of the conference committee, as well as a table at the event if they wish to display or sell their materials. Speakers are also entitled to invite one guest to attend the conference for free. At the 2013 conference, there will also be a bookseller who will handle any book sales if speakers have books they do not wish to sell themselves.

In 2013 our conference will be held  on June 15,  from 9- 5 p.m. at  Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, in beautiful Sonoma County,  the heart of Wine Country. Our V.I.P cocktail reception will be held in the reception room at the center after the main conference. The reception is an opportunity to meet  with the many interesting and influential people who attend and speak at our conference.

This year our goal is to not only sponsor teenage girls to attend the conference, but several adult women who may otherwise not be able to attend. Because we aim to educate and inspire, we work diligently over several months to find the best speakers who fit in with our conference’s mission. Last year we were honored to have 36 wonderful speakers for our conference sessions and panels. (Our keynote speaker was Chair of the California Arts Council, Malissa Shriver who spoke on Women and Vulnerability. )
