Conference ThemeThe Power of WomenThe Power of Women is the foundation of an organization like CAPPA. Our 2010 conference is meant to be reflective of the innate power within each woman, and to be a place to reconnect with the powers that connect us as women and support professionals for the childbearing year. Power is our abiltiy to connect to our internal greatness and leadership capabilities, empowering ourselves for our highest good and our community's highest good. Since the beginning of time, women have expressed their power and changed the world. CAPPA is focused on making a worldwide change in the consciousness around conception, birth and breastfeeding. We welcome you to step into that change and into your own power. Join us at the 2010 CAPPA conference to hear speakers* who will light the fires of your power and bond with the sisterhood power that is CAPPA. * While we recognize the power and influence of the women shown in the collage above, we do not imply they will be speaking or appearing at our conference. These women were chosen to demonstrate the "power of women" because of their remarkable work in the birth and breastfeeding fields. Details regarding our speakers will be posted as soon as they become available. Contact Hours (CEUs)All general and breakout sessions will award CAPPA contact hours. CAPPA has applied for nursing CEUs. CAPPA contact hours are generally accepted by all major childbirth related organizations.

She is the author of You Are My World, How a Parent's Love Shapes a Baby's Mind (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2007).
