Coping with Economic Issues is Theme of Camden County Women’s Health Conference
For Immediate Release: February 10, 2009
Contacts: KEN SHUTTLEWORTH (609) 472-8837
State Senators Dana Redd of Camden and Loretta
Weinberg of Bergen County will share the keynote speaker’s
podium at the 10th annual Women’s Health Conference. Both
speakers, prominent champions for women’s issues in the New
Jersey legislature, will address government’s role as it relates
to an important theme of this year’s conference: Coping with
Economic Issues.
The conference takes place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
on Saturday, March 7, at Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees
Township.
“We also will have lots of fun with classes
such as Classical American Belly Dance and Zumba – Latin Dance
Aerobics,” said Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez who oversees planning
of the conference as the governing body’s liaison to the Department
of Health and Human Services.
“Plus, of course, most of the day’s
64 workshops and seminars will focus on serious concerns such as
Everything You Need to Know About Breast Cancer, and Childhood Obesity,”
Ms. Rodriguez added. “One seminar is entitled A Woman and
Her Credit and What Every Woman Should Know About Social Security.
Ms. Rodriguez said the main role of Sens. Redd and
Weinberg will be to provide information about programs currently
available through state, county and local levels of government that
can assist women and their families obtain affordable health care
coverage.
Concerning the current financial climate, “Mrs.
Weinberg has particular insight on coping with the economic crisis
after having been victimized by the Ponzi scheme allegedly perpetrated
by financial advisor Bernard Madoff. It stripped the 73-year-old
grandmother of a $1.3 million nest egg left by her late husband.”
Freeholder Rodriguez urged women to register quickly
for the workshops because they fill up quickly. Signing up on Camdencounty.com
is the best option, she added. Also, the website includes a detailed
schedule of all workshops, with information about presenters.
In addition to the workshops, breakfast and lunch
will be provided to registered attendees and there will be approximately
100 informational booths in the exhibit hall.
