The 2010 Wo+men@Work Breakfast will feature guest speaker Celia Rivenbark, an award-winning newspaper columnist and freelance journalist whose work has been compared to a cross between Erma Bombeck and Hunter S. Thompson.
Celia has won National and State press awards and is the author of five humor collections including: "You Can't Drink All Day If You Don't Start In The Morning" and "Stop Dressing Your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank." Join Celia and Carolina Parent for a humorous, yet informative, event on balancing family and work.
As part of our corporate commitment to community involvement, Carolina Parent encourages attendees to donate a suit or other pieces of professional clothing to our special guest,
Dress for Success Triangle NC, who provides gently worn professional clothing to women in need of interview and work attire.
Our 2009 guest speaker featured Ann Crittenden, award-winning journalist, author, and lecturer. Her book The Price of Motherhood, garnered widespread media attention and was named one of the New York Times Notable Books of the Year in 2001. Speakers at previous Women@Work events included Pamela, Stone, Ellyn Spragins, Ann Pleshette Murphy, Sheri Lynch, Allison Pearson and Paula Spencer.
