Registration opens for local women’s conference

PRESS RELEASE
Registration is now open for the 2023 T.J. Samson Women’s Conference. Presented in partnership with Glasgow Business & Professional Women, this year’s conference is from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. March 16 the Cave City Convention Center.
The keynote speaker will be LaDonna Gatlin, who will share her joyful message, “Sometimes You Just Gotta Laugh!” Born into “showbiz,” Gatlin grew up onstage performing with her brothers, the legendary Gatlin Brothers. Her presentations resonate with audiences all over the country because she makes people laugh, lightens their load and leaves them with a song in their hearts. And, they always learn something in the process.
The morning session will be “The Big M: Managing Menopause,” presented by Casey Sacia, a women’s health nurse practitioner who works with the T.J. Women’s Health team. Sacia will share important information about signs that menopause may be near, how to deal with the symptoms, and much more. The afternoon session will be “Living Stronger: Strengthening Your Way to a Better Quality of Life.” Emily Bybee, a physical therapist with T.J. Rehab Services, will share ways to help the body to be stronger, which helps everyone to feel better along life’s journey.
One of the highlights of the conference is celebrating the Sherri Shines Award winners. Each year, two inspiring and deserving women are chosen to receive complete makeovers. The Sherri Shines Awards are given in memory and in celebration of Sherri Davis. Sherri was an outstanding, much-loved employee at T.J. Samson who passed away following a brave battle with cancer.
Registration also includes health screenings, lunch, style show, shopping and health information vendors, and lots of door prizes.
