Dear Pauline,
 
 
WOVI's Seventh Annual Conference for Women comes to the DFW Metroplex October 17 & 18, 2008 at the Holiday Inn Select, 1655 N. Central Expressway (Us 75), in Richardson, Texas. The conference offers an array of dynamic speakers, educational sessions, and activities (including shopping at the vendor faire!), designed especially for powerful women.
 
On Friday we honor women who commit their time and energy to mentoring others. Join us for the Mentor Recognition Luncheon where WOVI bestows its prestigious 2008 mentor of the year award to a truly amazing woman in our community. WOVI's leadership summit is also held on Friday and includes installation & training of new officers, an educational panel discussion, recognition of 2007 officers, and dinner.
 
Saturday the excitement continues with two keynote speakers, educational sessions, and the annual awards ceremony. The fun doesn't stop there! In between all the activities there will be door prizes, entertainment, and opportunities to mingle with powerful women just like you.
