Join Us for the 11th Annual Celebration of Appalachian Women!

The Harlan County Domestic Violence Council and Cumberland Valley Domestic Violence Service are pleased to announce the 11th Annual – Believing in Ourselves: A Celebration of Appalachian Women Conference—a fun-filled, educational self-esteem summit, a day of workshops of interest to women. The conference will be held on Saturday, August 18, 2018 from 10:00am-3:00pm at the Harlan Center.

The day will begin with registration and welcome by the Harlan County Domestic Violence Council members. Immediately following registration, participants will break into their individual workshops. Each workshop will consist of a 55 minute session. At 12:15pm, we will come together as a group for a catered lunch (provided at no cost to participants). During lunch, an award will be presented to the Outstanding Appalachian Woman of 2018, a woman who epitomizes the spirit of the Appalachian woman through service to her community and family.
