Moms, sisters, girlfriends, aunts and grandmothers…they’re your support system. They are the women you laugh with when times are great and the first ones you call when you need advice. These women are your “Everyday Super Heroes.” Learn the qualities these women possess so that you can recognize super hero qualities in others and develop them within yourself.

How Can I Attend a Speaking of Women's Health® Conference?
Speaking of Women's Health® is a community outreach event for WEDU. This event has grown in popularity every year, and in order to accommodate those who wish to attend in a fair and unbiased process, WEDU has attempted to streamline the ticketing process in every way possible. In an effort to provide a fair system for all women interested in attending this special event, WEDU has changed its ticketing policy this year.
Similar to other cities who host this event, as well as the National
Speaking of Women's Health® Conference, WEDU has introduced a lottery system. Through this system, individuals will be randomly selected from a pool of names. If an individual’s name is selected, she/he will be contacted to secure tickets; there will be a limit of up to four (4) tickets per individual.
