2008 God's Love at Work Women's Conference & Expo
Saturday November 8, 2008
10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Greater Atlanta Area

Welcome to our inaugural women's event!

This Conference/Expo is purposed to share God's greatest power source--the love of Christ--and to help women advance in their work lives. Whether you're a working mom, a young professional or a seasoned career woman, we invite you to join us for an opportunity to love, learn and shop.

This year's theme is Love3, which highlights the confluent relationship each woman shares with God, herself and others. It's based on the breadth, length, height and depth of God's love (Ephesians 3:18) and His Greatest Commandments to love Him with all of our hearts, minds and souls as well as to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-39).

What's more, each expert presenter will offer you practical tips that will help you excel in building support networks, dressing for success, planning and goal setting, time management, defeating stress, getting promoted, sharing your faith and more. Come and be empowered!

See you there,

Margaret D. Mitchell
