"I have been a regular attendee of the Texas Conference for Women. For two years, I have brought my 26-year-old daughter who is now a career woman. We stay in a hotel, go out to restaurants, and have some quality mother-daughter bonding time together.
Life is very hectic, and even though we live in the same city and we do see each other, there is something about the drive to the Conference and the uninterrupted conversations, the dinners, and the Conference itself. We discuss what sessions we attended, what we learned, and what we liked about each one.
I attend many conferences, but this is one event that is very special."

"I enjoy the reminder that the Conference provides. It helps me step back to think about what kind of person I want to be, review how I am living my life, and motivate me to take action to improve."

"The speakers were wonderful and went over tips and ideas that I will truly be able to put into practice in my life. I left rejuvenated and excited about where I can go in my professional life and what I can do with it."
2007 attendee
"In 2005, I found myself at a major crossroads in my life. I went to the Texas Conference for Women looking for something that would help me find a new purpose and direction. What I found were women who inspired me to push past my fear and doubts and create a reality from a long held dream. With no hyperbole or exaggeration, and with humble gratitude, I find myself on my present journey thanks to the incredible women who shared their stories, their courage and their hard-earned wisdom and spurred me on my way."
