Why The NeW National Conference Will Be One To Remember

Network of Enlightened Women, it means standing firm in my beliefs, but being kind and classy when faced with ideas different than mine. There is no room for name-calling or rudeness when challenged. Network of Enlightened Women trains women to be able to face challenging ideas in an upstanding way and use strong arguments when doing so. I don't need to use Ad Hominin strategies or shy away from topics because I can refute arguments such as the pay gap, bias, and fake news with confidence.

Network of Enlightened Women (NeW) was started by Karin Agness Lips at University of Virginia. The organization empowers conservative women and teaches them how to be conservative and classy. In a world of feminism and name calling, Network of Enlightened Women is a beacon of light and respect.

Every year, NeW holds a national conference that brings in students and women from across the country. Attendees have the opportunity to hear from speakers of different occupations and walks of life. Valuable lessons and tips are taught for maintaining a lady-like composure while debunking false ideas. As an attendee, I know I will be in the company of many amazing women that are taking a stand on their campuses and workplaces.

In just a few days, powerful, Conservative women will join together to learn, connect, and empower one another. This will be an event to remember. The lineup of speakers, itinerary, and the women that will be attending will make this conference phenomenal. I am excited to meet fellow like-minded women and hear their experiences. I look forward to hearing from the speakers, taking notes, and using what I learned in my articles, and when faced with current issues.

Some topics I am particularly excited to hear are; #Me Too, Let's Talk Policy, and Sex Matters. I know the speakers will address the topics with class, but also honesty. I believe it is important to be able to listen to others to be able to strengthen my beliefs and learn from people who know more than me.

In addition to the remarkable speakers and great attendees, scholarships are available for the conference and travel. Some meals are covered, along with travel expenses and the hotel. I am able to attend the conference without emptying my wallet. The women running the conference have been so kind and helpful throughout preparation. This is an organization that deeply cares about its members and helps them succeed. Through NeW, I have made connections and had opportunities I would not have without NeW. They have opened doors for me and been so helpful in furthering my career.

As a conservative woman, this conference will be refreshing, encouraging, and enlightening. Interested in NeW or the conference? Check them out here.

You won't be disappointed.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
