Welcome
The 6th Annual National Aboriginal Women In Leadership Training
Conference was held from October 19-22, 2006 in Montreal Quebec at the Hyatt
Regency and was very successful. Aboriginal women from across the country participated
in a variety of informative workshops and panels as presenters, facilitators
and delegates - an uplifting experience for everyone.
There was a great banquet
and evening of entertainment enjoyed by everyone who attended the conference.
A spa was set up on-site so that the delegates could receive some pampering!
This year's conference theme
is "Honoring Our Women and Seven Generations".
Considering the seventh generation means that any decision made today should be
judged by its effect in 150 years. This belief will guide us during the 7th Annual
National Aboriginal Women in Leadership Training Conference to be held at the
Empire Landmark Hotel in Vancouver from October 26-28, 2006. Plan on attending.
