    Excellent program, I look forward to being there. Is it an assumption that there will be internet access available?

  2. 2 Ananda Leeke

    WOW!

  3. 3 Gloria Pan

    Yes, there will be Internet connection. We are even going to try to live-stream it, heaven help us!

  4. 4 Teri Leavens

    This is awesome! Looking forward to it!

    The conference looks terrific, and a few of us from NCWO plan to attend. One question, is Carol Jacobsen actually supposed to be Carolyn Jacobson of CLUW and NCWO’s Women’s Health Task Force? Also, has anyone reached out to Valerie Young of the National Association of Mother’s Centers and MOTHERS (Mothers Ought to Have Equal Rights)? She has an amazing blog.
    Thanks so much for all of your efforts in pulling this together!
