The excitement is in the air for the 2nd annual “From A Woman’s Perspective” conference, a special event coordinated by three fantastic organizations: The Women’s Employment Opportunity Project, Inc., Mother’s Voices of Georgia and The East Point Community Action Team (EP-CAT). We bring together women from all socio-economic backgrounds to discuss issues that are important.

This exciting event features a phenomenal line up of speakers which include: Sandra Murillo Weber, Turner Broadcasting System; Ann Wilson Cramer, IBM; Condace Pressley, WSB 750 Radio; Dr. Elizabeth Ford, DeKalb County Board of Health; Dr. Folami Prescott-Adams, HomeMade Jamz Productions; and Paulette Lewis. Region IV Women’s Bureau, U.S. Department of Labor.

The highlight of our program will be Ms. Michele Hoskins, founder and owner of Michelle Foods and three-time guest of the Oprah Winfery Show, will be featured as the luncheon speaker. Ms. Hoskin's inspiring story of what can be accomplished with determination and persistence is in line with theme of our contest: Women Who Inspire.
