We are excited to announce that Award-winning journalist and author Laura Ling will be among the keynote presenters at the March 7, 2022, East Bay Women’s Conference. Hailed as a memorable and captivating storyteller, Ling is the author of Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home. As a journalist who has traveled all over the world to expose critical global issues, Ling inspires others not only to find hope and strength during our darkest hours, but also to focus on our common humanity in an increasingly divisive world. She most recently hosted the Discovery mini-documentary series, The Power of Kindness that looks at the scientific roots and benefits of being kind. She is also the host of Everyday Bravery, a podcast about overcoming life’s biggest challenges.
Ling will be joined by other inspiring speakers for EPIC WOMEN, the 17th annual East Bay Women’s Conference, for a full day that provides women opportunities to come together and participate in programs of personal and professional enrichment and development.

Caitlin Sly
Executive Director, Meals on Wheels
|
|
Chamber Board Director Caitlin Sly was recently recognized as a "Hero Among Us" by then Mayor Kevin Wilk. As Executive Director of Meals on Wheels, Caitlin had only been in her position for several weeks when the pandemic struck, and the shelter-in-place order was issued. Caitlin embraced the impact and challenges the mandate presented to raise the bar for addressing food insecurity in the community and to ensure that no senior goes hungry. You are truly a Hero Among Us.
