The Conference on October 14, 2009 at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego was incredible! There were close to two hundred women and men in attendance.

With a variety of topics ranging from “When it comes to money, women mean business” to leadership; “Are you the Leader that you seek?” participants received a wealth of information and knowledge from local, state and national experts.

The keynote speaker: Josefina Lopez, Author, Screenwriter, Artistic Director and Film Producer, delivered a powerful and emotional speech. Lopez offered words of wisdom and focused on empowering women through her own personal experiences. Thank you Josefina!
