Oklahoma Women's Legislative Coalition & WIPP Advocacy Training October 23rd

Several organizations and individuals interested in empowering women and girls in Oklahoma recently organized as the Oklahoma Women’s Legislative Coalition. In the weeks ahead, you will be hearing more about this exciting initiative. We hope to have a website in place soon where you can learn how to join/support this exciting statewide effort.

One of OWLC's tasks will be to lobby the Oklahoma Legislature on behalf of Oklahoma women and girls. For that reason, I’m thrilled that Terry Neese’s WIPP Institute is offering an extraordinary advocacy training workshop in Oklahoma on Oct. 23, 2007. WIPP stands for Women Impacting Public Policy and the WIPP Institute is a non profit public charity dedicated to the economic empowerment of women.

This one-day training (9:00 am to 4:00pm) will be held at the Financial District of Oklahoma’s Conference Center at 1725 E. 15th Street, Edmond, OK. The workshop features excellent national trainers so the cost of $50 (which includes lunch) is a real bargain. WIPP's target audience is women business owners but everyone can benefit from this training!

I hope you will consider attending this workshop yourself. Also please help spread the word about this workshop by telling your friends and colleagues.
