2nd Annual Mid-Atlantic 40 Day for Life Conference

Join us for 2nd Annual Mid-Atlantic 40 Days for Life Conference & Kickoff in Severn, MD on  September 18th from 10am – 2pm (lunch will be served at 1pm). 
The purpose of the Conference is to bring together all of the Mid-Atlantic 40 Days for Life campaign leadership teams, 40 Days for Life participants, and Pro-Life supporters new to 40 Days for Life to prepare for the upcoming campaign, get everyone excited and motivated for the campaign, and to learn ways  to increase participation.
The Conference will be a combination of  speakers  addressing the attendees of the conference with encouragement and support for the campaign,   interactive panel discussions with local and national Pro-Life Leaders, 40 Days for Life  training and information provided by our Leadership Team, and  booths  to help promote the incredible work that various Pro-Life organizations are engaged in around the country. You can take a look at the recording of last years event at  http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2068232  (it’s a large recording...so it will take a moment to load).
We will have various speakers who will influence people across the region (and the entire nation) to participate in this campaign.  Shawn Carney, National Campaign Director for 40 Days for Life, and  Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Director and Employee of the Year, have already confirmed that they will be joining us (along with several of last year's participants). Below, you will find a full list of all of the invitees and organizations that we are coordinating with. Just like last year, our aim is to draw a diverse group of recognizable Pro-Life leaders who can influence different ethnic, socio-economic, and denominational Christians to join together for the  end to abortion  in the Mid-Atlantic Region!
We will be finalizing the speaking schedule and panel participants over the next couple of weeks, but in the mean time go ahead and Register Now, put the event on your calendar, and help us Promote the event online with Facebook, Twitter, Email, MySpace, etc!
