"The Women of the Channel session which took place at our XChange '09 conference this summer addressed the key issues that women face in the workforce. It was such a success that we decided to launch a workshop that would empower women to invest in themselves and their success in business. The Women of the Channel Winter Workshop provides comprehensive education and insight into the working woman's world. Additionally, through our Channel@Work program, attendees will also be supporting SafeHorizon, a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide support, prevent violence, and promote justice for victims of crime and abuse, their families and communities, by donating toys for the holiday season. We look forward to a fantastic event," said Nancy Hammervik, SVP/Managing Director, Everything Channel Events.
