Empowering Girls for Life Convention This Weekend: How to Attend or Watch Here!

We’re just three days away from the Empowering Girls for Life convention to be held August 10-12 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.

The Empowering Girls for Life convention includes the following list of great speakers on Saturday and Sunday preceded by an NCSA-sponsored testing workout Friday evening.

THE PURPOSE OF THE EVENT

“The purpose of the show is to reach out to young women and girls and to get the message out on motivating and empowering young girls to be the best that they can be,” said show creator Bill Conroy.

Conroy knows a bit about empowering young ladies. Twenty years ago he started the Beverly Bandits, a nationally recognized elite fast pitch softball team that has won numerous national championships and has sent more than 400 young women to Division 1 college scholarships.

The show will provide a venue in particular for girls from 7 to 17 to meet and interact with high profile women with proven track records of success in their respective fields.

Empowering Girls for Life will also help girls and their parents get a head start on important pre-college necessities such as ACT/SAT testing, financial aid opportunities and the college selection process.

Click on the link for the EmpowerGirls.life website and go to the Tickets tab link to sign up for $35 for General Admission and–if you want to add a VIP Pass of $35 to each ticket–you will be able to meet the speakers, get their autographs on a poster.
