Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), in partnership with the Vermont Department of Labor, the Vermont Commission on Women and other sponsors, will host Vermont’s Ninth Annual Women’s Economic Opportunity Conference on November 5 at Vermont Technical College in Randolph Center.  The conference is free and open to all Vermonters interested in attending.

“For nearly a decade, this conference has generated scores of ‘graduates’ and a statewide reputation for the quality of its presentations,” said Leahy.  “Whether your quest is starting a new career or business or pursuing personal growth and financial security, you’ll find this is an energizing and informative day.”

This year’s conference adds a special focus on health care, and attendees are invited to participate in up to three workshops throughout the day on topics ranging from health care to career decisions, to personal growth, to coping with stress.

Marcelle Leahy, wife of the senator, will deliver the keynote address.  Mrs. Leahy is a Registered Nurse in Vermont and Virginia and serves on the University of Vermont’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences Advisory Board.  She is the Honorary Chair of the Vermont National Guard Family Support Program and a Board Member of the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation.

Those interested in attending can register online at www.vtsbdc.org, or by visiting Leahy’s website at www.leahy.senate.gov.
