“We are proud to once again showcase an impressive line-up of speakers at this year’s Conference. Throughout the day women will share their stories of hard work, determination, and an unwavering belief in their ability to succeed,” says The Women’s Center’s executive director, Cynthia Huheey. “The 30 years since The Women’s Center opened its doors in 1974 have been an era of remarkable change for women. The Leadership Conference allows women to celebrate their accomplishments, network and inspire one another, during the course of the day. We are especially delighted in this anniversary year to be joined by the two women who founded the Center and others who nurtured and grew the Center over the years.”
Now in its 30th year, The WomenÂ’s Center continues to help women, men and their families through lifeÂ’s challenges. The CenterÂ’s enhanced psychological assessment program is equipped to provide comprehensive testing for AD/HD and learning disabilities, social-emotional assessments as well as intellectual assessments -- all on a sliding scale. The Center also recently launched career services to assist individuals in professional transition. And a grant provided by the Department of Justice has allowed The WomenÂ’s Center to expand its legal and referral services to victims of domestic violence.
