Murray Hill Institute Newsletter Dear Friends, It’s hard to believe that almost a year has passed since our Woman, Beauty & Image conference took place in New York City. As with our other conferences, this event provided valuable information and opened horizons for women to carry out the task of transforming culture in positive, constructive ways. I would like to share with you some of the initiatives that were spawned from the conference. After reading about them, you too may be inspired to do something similar yourself. You may remember the teen volunteers who acted as hostesses at the conference. Well, three of them were so inspired by what they saw and heard that they decided to take the message to their peers. They launched “Fashion Forum,” whose mission is to help young women make a difference in today’s society by promoting a dignified image of women. They achieve this through activism and through monthly events such as discussion, guest speakers, and hands-on workshops for young women. Murray Hill Institute is proud to sponsor the activities of “Fashion Forum,” and we invite our readership to collaborate with this initiative through professional and/or financial support. The ripple effect of the conference has extended far and wide. Several of the women who attended decided to hold similar events in their cities, thus reaching a wider radius of people. Fashion seminars were organized in Portland, Denver, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and on Long Island, to name a few. Minette, who traveled from the Philippines to attend the conference, has been very busy giving seminars in Manila, Cebu, and other cities in her country, making good use of the material posted on our website. These are just some of the initiatives we have heard about; surely there are many more. Our upcoming conference on Saturday, April 22, A Person-Centered Approach to Work-Life Balance, promises to be another thought-provoking and action-oriented event. The number of newspaper and magazine articles on the topic of work-life balance indicate that this is an issue of interest and concern for both women and men in the workplace. Our conference speakers will provide participants with the information and tools they need to determine their needs, obligations, and priorities. Our feature article provides examples of some work-life balance challenges and how they were met. We hope to see you on April 22! Kind regards, Kathleen McGarry
