Opening Session and Keynote Speaker

For the Feb.28, 2009 EYH conference, there will not be an opening session attended by all participants and thus there will not be a keynote speaker.
At 9:15 we will organize into groups to be led to the class room for the first workshop.

In previous years we had an opening session that was highlighted by a talk by a successful local woman who can serve as an inspirational role model for the young girls. This session was attended by both the girls and the adults.
