Annual Conference Features Leading Women Sharing the Secret of Mastering Feminine Power

April 15, 2008 - PRLog -- There was once a time it was almost laughable to think that a woman could proficiently manage and run a business (let alone a Fortune 500 Company), or serve in a high political office. As silly as the thought was "back in the day", today it is a refreshing reality. Some of the trailblazing women that come to mind are: Atlanta's very own Mayor Shirley Franklin; Judge Glenda Hatchett, Geraldine Ferraro and the late Benazir Bhutto and Ann Richards. Not only are these incredible women trailblazers, they've also been keynote speakers for the premier leadership development conference in the Southeast, the Possible Woman Leadership Conference.

Wind Enterprises will host its 11th Annual Possible Woman® Leadership Conference at the Georgia World Congress Center on Thursday, May 1st and will highlight discussions addressed to corporate and professional women that will reveal the secret of mastering the "Wonder Woman" within - a
secret these trailblazing women already know.

An exciting first for the conference is a Plenary Keynote panel of some of the most powerful women leaders in the United States - "Women, Power and Peace: Leadership for a New Tomorrow" panel includes: Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel; Presiding Justice Carol Hunstein, Supreme Court of Georgia; Mayor Shirley Franklin, City of Atlanta (invited); Chief Judge Anne Elizabeth Barnes, Georgia Court of Appeals and moderated by The Honorable Liane Levetan, Former CEO DeKalb County, Georgia and State Senator. The conference attendees will be welcomed by The Honorable Thurbert E. Baker, Attorney General, State of Georgia, making this a must attend conference for corporate women professionals as well as women business owners.

Chief Judge Anne Elizabeth Barnes of The Georgia Court of Appeals was the first woman to be elected in a state-wide judicial race without having been first appointed to the bench, and she won that election without a runoff. She was re-elected, without opposition, to a second term in 2004, and was unanimously elected by her fellow judges to serve as the court=s Chief Judge for the term 2007-2008.

Carol W. Hunstein is the Presiding Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Appointed in 1992, she is only the second female Supreme Court Justice in the State's history. In 2006 Justice Hunstein was challenged in the statewide race for her seat by an opponent financed largely by a nationwide coalition that sought to obtain control over the appellate court in Georgia and at least three other states. Justice Hunstein's campaign to maintain judicial impartiality and independence galvanized the state's voters and led to a landslide victory over her opponent. Justice Hunstein is a tireless champion of racial, ethnic and gender equality and has worked on Georgia's state and local domestic violence task forces and countless training programs for judges, lawyers and court personnel. Her personal story as a cancer survivor and amputee makes her a compelling role model for those attempting to overcome adversity.

Karen Handel was elected in November 2006 and sworn in to office on January 8, 2007 as Georgia's first Republican Secretary of State. This important constitutional office oversees elections, corporations, securities, and professional licensing boards, and also controls the state archives and the Capitol museum. Using her vast experience in government, business, and community involvement, Secretary of State Handel brings a straight-forward, hard-working attitude to state government and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo.

Liane Levetan was the first woman elected to the highest political office of DeKalb County, Georgia’s second largest county. She served as its Chief Executive Officer for eight years (two terms), and was responsible for the operation of a government that served over 600,000 citizens and had a total annual budget of more than $800 million. In addition she has served as a county commissioner for ten years and as a Georgia State Senator representing District 40.

Marie C. Wilson is founder and President of The White House Project, co-creator of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work ® Day and author of Closing the Leadership Gap: Why Women Can and Must Help Run the World. In 1998, while President of the Ms. Foundation for Women, Wilson founded The White House Project in recognition of the need to build a truly representative democracy –one where women lead alongside men in politics, media and business. She left the Ms. Foundation in 2004 after two decades, to devote her full energy to the Project.
