The Power of One featuring Erin Brockovich - Women Aware Conference
|
|
Thursday, September 16, 2010
|
|
Women Aware Conference “The Power of One” featuring Erin Brockovich. The goal is help motivate and inspire every attendee to let nothing stand in their way of achieving success. Who better than to drive this message home than a woman who is known world-wide for her personal story of triumph and proving one person truly can make a difference? Erin Brockovich, whose life story was turned into an Oscar-winning film starring Julia Roberts, will help attendees understand how they too can achieve success through motivation. Beyond the once in a lifetime opportunity to hear Erin Brockovich, the day will consist of 27 breakout sessions, in which each attendee will have the opportunity to attend four sessions. Another amazing part of this year’s conference is that every attendee will have the opportunity to enter a random drawing to have dinner with Erin. We will draw 25 names the day of the conference to attend a VIP dinner following the conference. Register online by going to www.womenawareinc.com. Registrations and booth spaces are limited and going quickly. For additional questions, please contact Conference Director, Tiffany Jenkins, at (573)727-2760 or tiffany.jenkins@hma.com.
