Join us November 13th and 14th as we present WOPP (Women of Power & Prosperity) 1st Annual Women Leadership Summit 2008.

This is promised to be two days you will not want to miss. Over the two days, Employers, Leaders, Visionaries, etc will come together in one arena, to Educate, Motivate and "Groom Up To Leadership" the lives of working women, women seeking employment, women seeking a higher education or women seeking to own businesses. The participants will also get the opportunity to hear enriching stories of transformation and success, words of encouragement and life lessons. We expect a network of women from all walks of life, to attend this life changing experience.

Please consider supporting the first annual Women's Leadership Summit, "Grooming Up to Leadership". The purpose of this summit is to provide a platform where successful women leaders can teach other women through the sharing of life experiences and skill sets. Organized mentoring programs for women are limited. "Grooming Up to Leadership" sets the stage for future mentorship and professional development opportunities. The program covers all aspects of personal presentation from dress to etiquette to intellectual and rational to responses to workplace problem solving, communications and conflict.
