W2W Conference!

Hello to everyone who will be attending this years Women2Women conference! Everyone at EmpowerPeace is very excited you will be coming here to Boston and Cambridge for a fun week of learning, networking, and cultural exchange. I can't believe it is only a little over a month away!

Personally I am very excited to meet all of you, and I certainly hope that you will take something away from here that you will carry for the rest of your lives. Whether it's a new friendship, point of view, life lesson, or maybe something you got shopping :)

I hope everyone feels comfortable contacting us with any questions you might have because there is nothing too small or insignificant. You and your experience here is very important to us and we want to make sure you know that!

It is very hot in Boston today, almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course I say that and many of you come from places where that is a 'cool' day! Asad is out shooting some video for EmpowerPeace and Mariam is getting the last details of your travel arrangements completed.

Feel free to talk here!. If you are coming here for a week, what is one thing you hope to take away with you?

Friday Friday Friday!

Well everyone it's Friday evening...and it's been another productive week here at EmpowerPeace. People have been doing everything they can to make sure the Women2Women conference is an amazing experience, and we are working closely with consulates and embassies to make sure people get here as smoothly and as quickly as possible.

I am also looking into some new technology and software that would let EmpowerPeace participants interact 24/7! More to come on that...

Everyone have a great weekend!

Monday Morning

The staff at EmpowerPeace is as busy as ever with meetings in preparation for the Women2Women event that just around the corner. Rick and Tricia are running all over Boston as we speak, Mariam has been working since early morning, and Asad is walking back and forth between the video edit rooms and his office doing some kind of project.

The crew here is very excited to be working on upcoming events for EmpowerPeace, and looking forward to more interaction with all of you here at the blog, on the message board, FaceBook, and the soon to be available MySpace page.

One thing folks can start thinking about if they want...what types of discussion would you like to see going? You can always bring up something you feel needs to be talked about!

Welcome to the Empower Peace Blog!

Hi everyone! My name is Michael and I will be writing here in the Empower Peace Blog updating you about all the exciting things the staff is up to. I'll be talking about upcoming events, stories in the news, and hopefully interacting with you!

Anyone is free to post thoughts or comments they have about what we are discussing. There are links at the bottom of the page to the rest of our Empower Peace family including the main website and the message board. Rick, Tricia, Asad, Mariam, and everyone else say hello and be sure to check back here for updates!
