“Empower Yourself! Let’s Make it Happen!”

About Us

The El Paso Conference for Women is a non-profit, non-partisan, two-day event for El Paso women to
connect, learn practical and professional strategies from local and nationally recognized experts, and
network with peers. This conference will provide an opportunity for women’s groups to become better
acquainted with each other, and to come together as women of El Paso.

On March 2-3, 2012 El Paso women will ‘release their potential’ at the inaugural El Paso Conference for
Women, at the Centennial Club at Fort Bliss. The Conference is being held at the Centennial Club in order
to bring military women fully into the community of women in El Paso.

This event is hosted by Mayor John Cook and First Lady Tram Cook, in the style of the Texas Conference
for Women. This first time Conference hopes to attract over 600 attendees and impact the lives of many
more women from El Paso and the surrounding region.

The conference will offer keynote speakers, networking opportunities and alternative workshop tracks,
encouraging and empowering women to grow personally and professionally and to influence the world around them.

This conference will feature recognized speakers, presenters and panelists who are leaders in business,
media, health, personal development and finance. They will share their experience and expertise on everything
from leading change to managing money to finding a work/life balance. In addition to a dynamic program,
exhibitors will showcase a wide variety of products and services, providing a unique opportunity to
connect like-minded individuals and organizations.

With our diverse cultural landscape, we have many women’s groups in El Paso. These women’s groups are each
working very hard to improve the lives of women and girls, and the community at large. Our Showcase of Women’s
Groups will be an exciting view of the extent of women’s activities in El Paso. Each group will have a display
table for their mission, their message, and materials.

Our Mission and Goal

Our mission for the conference is to bring together the women of El Paso in a spirit of being celebrated,
educated and validated. By doing that we will be able to send women home with tools that they can put
into immediate use in various aspects of their lives.

The El Paso Conference for Women is a first-time event in El Paso and hopes to become a premiere
networking and educational experience designed to engage, enlighten and empower women from across the region.

So, “Empower Yourself! Let’s Make it Happen!”
