Mrs. Nagin To Participate In Louisiana' s Women Leaders Conference

(New Orleans) The First Lady of New Orleans, Mrs. Seletha Nagin, will serve as a member of the Host Committee for the "Louisiana's Women Leaders Conference," convened by Governor Kathleen Blanco and United States Senator Mary Landrieu. The conference will be held this weekend May 21 & 22, at the New Orleans Sheraton Hotel on Canal Street.

The Louisiana's Women Leaders Conference will offer a rare opportunity to expand the dialogue among women leaders - in political, social, and business arenas - from every region of Louisiana. The purpose of the conference is to leverage the talents of the growing base of female leadership in Louisiana.

"This conference mirrors the efforts of Mayor Nagin's Women's Empowerment Conference this October," said Mrs. Nagin. "I am thrilled to see that same vision being applied on a state-wide level."

The Host Committee also includes three New Orleans City Council members: the Honorable Renee Gill-Pratt, Council District "B"; the Honorable Jacquelyn Brechtel Clarkson, Council District "C"; and the Honorable Cynthia Willard-Lewis, Council District "E."

The Louisiana's Women Leaders Conference is a two-day leadership forum featuring a series of panel discussions with the state's highest ranking government, business, military, religious and community leaders that will be moderated by Dateline NBC's Hoda Kotb.

The Saturday program will include two morning panels and an informal conversation with two of the state's highest ranking government leaders

- Governor Blanco and Senator Landrieu.

Optional pre-conference workshops will be offered on the afternoon of Friday, May 19th exploring the topics of "Women & Long Term Care," "Managing the 4-P Intersection: Personal, Professional, Public & Private Lives," and "How to Feed the Media Beast: Turning Public Policy Into News That Matters." A reception at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art is also scheduled for Friday evening.

The leadership forum is $50 per person, which includes the Friday evening reception at the Ogden Museum, Saturday's panel discussions and lunch. Pre-conference workshops on Friday are $25.
