When Women
Thrive, Wisconsin Thrives!
January 4, 2005 Great news to begin our New Year! Generous underwriters invested in the success of Wisconsin women –led by Harley-Davidson, Manpower, Johnson Controls, Wisconsin State Employees Union, Alliant Energy, Covance Laboratories and Time Warner Cable—have made it possible for us to restructure pricing for our historic Wisconsin Women Forward 2005 convention in Madison on March 22nd. The registration fee is now only $35. We encourage our many partners from the nonprofit and private sectors to send leaders who might not otherwise be able to attend. And we are able to offer some registrations at no cost. Start the celebration getting to know each other and fueling up on elegant desserts at an event the night before if you can (R.S.V.P. on registration form). Then be prepared for a day we’ll never forget. You will feel the productive tension between a morning session that pulls us into smaller groups defined by the four building block issues and policy strategies, and an afternoon when we split into regional delegations to “bring it on home.” In the morning we will hear and launch exciting narratives of policy breakthroughs that owe to your specific hard-earned expertise. In the afternoon we will tool up this unprecedented broadband network that will provide the training and opportunities to connect women in every region of the state in a power grid of leaders working in concert to raise the grade for all Wisconsin women. Whew! But that’s not all. We’ll hear from our Young Women Leaders who are impressively upstaging us with their own Summit the day before. We will unveil a growing inventory of employers’ best practices collected by our Corporate Advisory Board and shine a bright spotlight on corporate leaders who know how to boost profits by investing in the success of women. A host of exhibitors will display resources to serve us in every htmlect of our lives. And of course dynamic renowned speakers (soon to be announced) will punctuate our groundbreaking work.
Wisconsin Women Forward 2005
will bring women of
all ages, diverse by any measure, from every region of this state,
to power up implementation of our shared agenda. We aim to set this
state on track to be the best in the nation where women may work,
raise a family, and live out their dreams. Wisconsin’s first governor, Nelson Dewey, decided that “Forward” should be the state’s motto to capture our posture toward the future. Later, that motto was embodied by a woman who graces the dome of our proud state capitol. Wisconsin Women Forward 2005 will drive that promise of prosperity into a reality for citizens everywhere in this state. Please fill out and send in the registration form today, then send this package on to every woman you know. And watch our website for continuous updates as convention plans unfold.
