Women Creating Success Conference is Aug. 21
COEUR d’ALENE — Local ladies — and gentlemen — are invited to find some inspiration Aug. 21 at the Women Creating Success Conference.
Presented by the Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce, this all-day conference at the Best Western Plus Coeur d'Alene Inn will include speakers who will share motivational stories, offer lifestyle management tools and provide attendees with uplifting messages and meaningful connections.
"Our themes and our speakers really reflect on different aspects of interpersonal skills," Coeur d'Alene Chamber Vice President of Membership Marilee Wallace said Tuesday. "We need to remind women that it’s OK to come to the table. It's time in our history to step up. We need to take time for ourselves, but time together to realize we have intelligence, strength and kindness within us that can move a community forward."
Tickets are $79 and include one registration with lunch. Attendees don't have to be chamber members. Exhibitor booths are $249.
