Johns to keynote North Shore
Women’s Conference

The Fifth Annual North Shore Women’s Conference will be held May 11 at the Marriott Lincolnshire Resort, 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire.

This event will bring together 23 Chambers of Commerce for an expo, workshops, networking and lunch with Keynote Speaker Catherine Johns discussing the topic, “Let Your Light Shine.” The Expo with over 80 vendors takes place from 10 a.m. to noon and 1:30- 3:30 p.m. The Luncheon and Johns will be presented from noon to 1:30 p.m. Also at that time, there will be nine concurrent workshops on hot topics.

Johns is one of the expert contributors at Women’s Ally, the premier career planning network for women. She is a former radio news anchor and reporter, talk show host, and morning show “side chick” at WLS and later at WJMK-fm. She brings that same sparkle and sass to her business communication workshops.
