5th Annual North Shore Women's Conference 
A
  Great Opportunity for Your Business!

 

Women control the vast majority of all consumer purchases. What better way to reach these key decision makers than to participate in the North Shore Women's Conference. Now in its 5th year, this popular event will be on Friday, May 11th from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM at the Marriott Lincolnshire. This unique event brings together twenty-three Chambers of Commerce for an expo, workshops, networking and lunch with keynote speaker Catherine Johns. You may remember Catherine from the radio - as a news anchor and reporter, talk show host, and morning show side-chick at WLS and later at WJMK-fm. She brings that same sparkle and sass to her business communication workshops. Catherine is one of the expert contributors at Women's Ally, the premier career planning network for women.

 

Keynote Speaker: Catherine Johns - Let Your Light Shine

Your clients, your colleagues, and your community need your talent. But first, they need to know exactly what you have to offer. As women, we so often downplay our gifts so people don't appreciate what we bring to the party. We hide our light under that bushel basket. Get ready to learn about the specific things you do that keep you from having the impact you could have. It's time to make some changes and let your light shine.
