Empowering Women in East Central Illinois NFP
FREE WORKSHOP
The focus of the Genealogy Workshop is to inform participants of the many resources available to them within their community and how to access them. It is important to educate each woman and equip her with the necessary tools with which to become successful in life.
Expert speakers will attend from a variety of organizations located throughout Illinois. Each speaker will lend their voice, guidance, and support to each woman, by way of providing educational resources and information. Demonstrations will be given by area businesses. Opportunities for hands-on training will be offered, based on the workshop.
Empowering Women in East Central Illinois NFP believes social connectedness is key to building community and getting what you need in life. Because of this, each workshop will afford women the good fortune and time to garner support from other women in the group like themselves.
