2008 Women's Conference. SIRIUS' national audience will hear from a diverse
group of participants about this year's conference theme, "Be Who You Are,"
which seeks to motivate women to pursue a lifelong journey of

they want to be.
This year's distinguished roster of speakers and participants will

The non-profit, non-partisan Women's Conference, formerly the
California Governor and First Lady's Conference on Women, began more than
twenty years ago as a small government initiative for women business
owners. Under First Lady Shriver and Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership,
the event has blossomed into the foremost destination for women from all
walks of life to gather together -- empower, inspire and educate each other
-- and become "architects of change" in all aspects of their lives.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio is home to a variety of exclusive and powerful
programming for women, including Martha Stewart Living Radio, Barbara
Walters' Barbara Live!, and Jane Pratt's Jane Radio among others.
