Call for Papers: Women's Leadership and Empowerment Conference 2006

Dear friends,

We are happy to announce International Leadership Conference 2006: “Women’s
Leadership and Empowerment” that will take place from 23-25 June 2006 in Bangkok, Thailand.

The International Leadership Conference 2006 is a three-day program, which consists of three components: study sessions "women's leadership and empowerment of disadvantaged groups", presentations of submitted papers and open discussions.

The topic of this year’s Conference is inspired by fact that women constitute half of the world’s population, perform nearly two thirds of its work hours, receive one-tenth of the world’s income and still own less than one-hundredth of the world’s property. This Conference will try to answer multiple questions regarding the
role and importance of women in contemporary societies. What potential and impact do
they have in politics, business, education and public sector? What are the major trends and what are the possible ways for empowerment of their hidden, but huge, potential? We are especially proud of one of this year’s ILC 2006 keynote speakers, Ms. Chour Sreya, Cambodian acid attack survivor and famous shiatsu masseuse who will talk about her success story, motivation and work with empowering disabled women in Cambodia.

By taking a part in International Leadership Conference 2006, participants will have a chance to learn and discuss this and many more issues of importance in creating and developing leadership skills, especially among disadvantaged groups. If you are interested in presenting a paper/ research in the Conference, you may submit an abstract along with your application. More information on the Conference topics may be found at http://www.tomorrowpeople.org/ILC/topic htm . Applications and abstract/ outlines of papers/ presentations are accepted online at http://www.tomorrowpeople.org/ILC/application.htm by May 20th.

Please, find more information about ILC 2006 on our web site at http://wwwtomorrowpeople.org/ILC/overview.htm or contact us directly at

Sincerely,
