15th Annual Joan P. Schaupp Women’s Center Phenomenal Woman Conference

Saturday, April 20th, 2013, St. Norbert College Bemis International Center, 9:00am-3:30pm

About the conference
Each year, the Phenomenal Woman Conference focuses on educating, supporting, and empowering women. It is a wonderful opportunity for the extraordinary women of St. Norbert College and the greater Green Bay communities to celebrate, socialize, and grow. Though the focus of the Phenomenal Woman Conference is on women, men are more than welcome to attend.

The conference will begin with registration, followed by the keynote speech.  It will move on to the first workshop session, and  then to a delicious lunch during which the musical guest will perform.  After lunch will follow the second and third workshop sessions and finally the closing remarks and raffle prizes will be awarded.

For conference questions and information contact the St. Norbert College Women’s Center at (920) 403-4116. We hope that you will join us for the conference!
