KEYNOTE SPEAKER: PAULA FRANCIS
Topic: Recognizing barriers that have been dismantled and what actions are being taken to eradicate the obstacles now and for the future. This was a collaborative project initiated by women to inform the public of projects, events and visions currently being implemented.
Several other women of vision spoke for two minutes each about their experience in breaking barriers, and describing recent programs and their vision in effecting positive change for girls and women. All women submitted a one page commentary relative to the topic and these pages were posted on a community board at the event.
Discussion and strategies for media distribution and other sessions in the state will be facilitated by Paula Francis.
