A Very Special NWHP Networking Conference
We have scheduled the Networking Conference to overlap and integrate with the popular Berkshire Conference on the History of Women. Our Networking Conference starts Wednesday afternoon, June 11 and runs until Friday evening, June 13. The Berkshire Conference has a welcoming reception Thursday evening, after several opening events, and runs until Sunday, June 15. Both conferences are being held on the campus of the University of Minnesota in the historic city of Minneapolis.
We will also have a booth at the Berkshire Conference at which we can arrange a book signing for you, if you have a publication you want to promote.
A few scholarships will be available. Contact ednasmolly@aol.com for more information.
