WHAT:
Seats are limited. Reserve your spot now! You’ll start by checking in and receiving a goody bag, enjoying a continental breakfast, visiting vendors and receiving a warm welcome from our committee.

Enjoy 4 break-out sessions on growing stronger mentally, physically, financially and civically. In between sessions, enjoy lunch (pizza, salad, beverages) and visit vendors. After lunch, everyone will gather in the theatre to be inspired by Certified Life Coach Karen McElrath’s “Loving Your Reflection.”

Concluding the conference, you’ll move outside to symbolically light your fire and literally the words that hold you back. Finish the day with an opportunity to network at our cocktail hour (cash bar). Enjoy music and great company!
