The SUNY Oswego Office of Business and Community Relations will be hosting the second annual Connections: Moving Women to Power symposium Oct. 25 in Hewitt Union.

The symposium features talks by successful women on how to overcome the challenges women face in the working world, entrepreneurship, finance and health and wellness. There will also be a women’s marketplace featuring all women-owned businesses, and products and services especially for women.

"Our purpose is to get women from Central New York to come and get energized about their potential and from SUNY Oswego’s perspective, we couldn’t have a better forum to bring as many powerful alumnae back to talk to other women," said Executive Director of Business and Community Relations and Planning Nancy Potter Bellow '78.

Speakers will include Joni Daniels ’77, Julia DeVillers ’89  and Carrie Lazarus. Daniels is a consultant, trainer and entrepreneur, as well as author of Power Tools for Women: Plugging into the Essential Skills for Work and Life. Devillers is the author of books that empower young girls such as The Dorm Survival Guide. Lazarus is a News Channel 9 co-anchor and her “Carrie’s Family Healthcast” was one of the first daily local health segments.

Sign-in for the symposium will be from 8:30 to 9 a.m., including a continental breakfast. The program will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with lunch served from 12:45 to 2:05 p.m. Pre-registration is required by contacting the Tyler Box Office at tickets@oswego.edu or by calling 315-312-2141. Tickets are $25 by Oct. 15 and $35 after Oct. 15. For more information or to be a vendor, call 315-312-3492 or visit http://www.oswego.edu/about/centers/cbcd/connections/.
