I am thrilled to be a panelist at the Women Can Do conference on October 11, 2007 at Vermont Technical College in Randolph Center, Vermont.
The Women Can Do conference is a full day of hands-on workshops in trades and technology for high school girls. Started in 1999 as an outgrowth of a regional conference for trades women, Women Can Do now serves over 300 girls from over 60 schools each year. Its goals are twofold: To support girls who are enrolled in nontraditional programs in technical and career centers; and to expose all girls to the unlimited career possibilities available to them through trades and technology.
As the mother and step-mother to three teenage girls, this is a cause near and dear to my heart. It's quite an honor for me to have been asked to be a part of this.
I'll be bringing samples of shortbread to the conference for my "show and tell (and taste!)".
