2nd Annual from a Woman’s Perspective a “Sweet” Success!

Over 100 participants, speakers and volunteers joined The Women’s Employment Opportunity Project, Mother’s Voices of Georgia and the East Point Community Action Team in celebrating Women’s History Month at the 2nd Annual “From a Woman’s Perspective” conference on March 14, 2008 at the Atlanta Technical College.

Headlining the event was Michele Hoskins, founder and CEO of Michele Foods. Hoskins shared wisdom learned during her remarkable rise from economic hardship to entrepreneurial success. A truly inspiring woman, Michele’s frank keynote address was followed by an open question and answer session when she fielded questions from the audience on a range of topics.
