development and happy family life they seek.

breakfast, keynote speaker, workshops and a luncheon.
The
Keynote Speaker is Lisa Benenson, the Editor-in-Chief of Working
Mother Magazine.
Both in her keynote as well as one of the morning
workshops, Mrs. Benenson will be speaking about Working
Mother’s top 100 family-friendly companies.

Center and will bring some of her personal experiences to
her discussions. Workshops

Getting It All; Whose Homework is it Anyway?; and, On My
Own, But Not Alone.
In
addition to the workshops, a luncheon will honor
Carolyn Canova, Tax Partner at PricewaterhouseCooper LLP;
Kim Foglia, President of writedesign; and, Sherry Radowitz,
PhD, Vice President of Long Island’s United Way, for
their tireless efforts in making the workplace better for
working parents. Representatives
from family-friendly corporations throughout Long Island
will attend to honor these three special women and to
learn how the NAMC provides its NEW NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM

opportunity to address their parenting concerns.
