CARE's 2011 Conference & International Women's Day Celebration
This event looks primarily about lobbying Capitol Hill about the importance of women’s programming and issues. My take is that we’re not quite ready for this as an organization, meaning we don’t have our gender policy/framework developed nor do we have core talking points yet about what IREX does with gender. FYI, Randal (Thanks to Jenn for sending the link.)
CARE's 2011 Conference & International Women's Day Celebration
Join us March 8-10 in Washington, D.C.
The CARE Conference will be held March 8-10, 2011, in conjunction with the 100th Celebration of International Women's Day and CARE's 65th anniversary!
Join us as we recognize the work of women worldwide who have made a difference during the past century, and speak out on behalf of women and girls who need advocates like you.
The CARE Conference & International Women's Day Celebration will unite hundreds of CARE supporters — individuals, partner organizations, major donors and corporate partners. Together, we'll come together as part of the movement that is bringing hope to millions of poor women, families and communities around the world.
At CARE's conference, participants will learn why CARE places women and girls at the heart of our efforts to fight poverty. When equipped with the proper resources, women rise to overcome the great challenges they face. Every day women are leading the way for lasting change for all.
Join us this year as we help girls and women around the world live, learn, earn - and lead!
