Description
The North Carolina Governor’s Conference for Women is a powerful annual convening of more than 1,500 women from across the state for energizing dialogue on a variety of women's issues. Launched in 2006 (then as the North Carolina Conference for Women), this day-long experience includes a mix of dynamic speakers, entertainment, and an interactive expo for networking, information sharing, and education.Our mission is to provide a platform for women of all ages and backgrounds across North Carolina to network with peers and become informed on timely issues that are of value to today’s women.
Theme
The mission of the conference drives the creation of a conference theme each year. In 2010, attendees were challenged to reflect...reframe...resolve. This year...Knowledge is Power
Although Sir Francis Bacon penned that line over 400 years ago, it couldn’t be more relevant today. Whether we’re talking about education for our children that leads to jobs in our state, or life-long learning that leads to a more enriching life, gaining knowledge is the power that keeps us growing.
That’s why the theme for the 2011 NC Governor’s Conference for Women is Power Up,PowerOn! On November 2 in Charlotte, we will find ways to inform, inspire and educate each other—and then take our learnings back to our communities.
