True Woman '10 Conference Kicks Off In Chattanooga

Monday, March 15, 2010

Some 2,000 women from across the Southeast will gather at the Chattanooga Convention Center, March 25 – 27, to help kick off a national conference tour called True Woman ’10. Born out of the True Woman Movement, the True Woman conference in Chattanooga is open to women of all ages and will be the first stop on a three-city tour taking place in 2010. Other event cities include Indianapolis (Sept. 23 – 25) and Fort Worth, Texas (Oct. 14 – 16).

The Chattanooga True Woman ’10 conference is designed specifically for women, and topics addressed will include: building personal faith, motherhood, women’s global issues, and a specific breakout session just for teens.

Featured speakers will include Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Mary Kassian, Kay Arthur, Pastor James McDonald, Dr. Voddie Baucham, Fern Nichols, Dannah Gresh, and Jennifer Rothschild. Special music will be provided Irish composers-artists Keith and Kristyn Getty.

The first True Woman conference was held in Chicago in October 2008, and drew some 6,300 women. The Chattanooga conference is open to all women, and registration details are available at www.truewoman.com. Tickets for the three-day event are $129 ($159 after March 22) / $94 for students ($124 after March 22).
