Dear Friend:

The Governor and I are honored to once again host The Texas Conference for Women.  It is my pleasure to invite you to join us as a Supporting Organization at the ninth annual conference to be held on Thursday, October 16, 2008 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.

This year’s conference will provide attendees with access to outstanding speakers and tools for their personal and professional development.

I encourage you to join other prominent businesses and women’s groups by participating as a supporting organization at this non-partisan, one-day event, which will include a full program of professional workshops. The 2007 conference drew more than 7,500 attendees and over 100 speakers, with topics including career advancement, leadership and life skills.  Your involvement will help us spread the word about the conference throughout the state.

As a supporting organization, your group will benefit by having recognition in the conference invitation, which is distributed to more than 500,000 women; recognition in the conference program distributed on-site; and acknowledgement on our conference Web site with a link to your organization’s Web site.

In exchange, we ask that you help us promote the conference to your membership a minimum of three times, either via email, your internal newsletter or through distribution of information at your organization’s internal event. We also encourage organizations or businesses to consider giving professional development credit for attending the conference.

In order to have your organization listed as a supporting organization in the conference printed materials, please complete our online form by Friday, May 9, 2008.  If you have any questions, please call April Wade at (866)375-1785 or by email .  We look forward to your participation.

Sincerely,

Anita Perry
First Lady
