Event Director Anita Bruton stated: "This is a great opportunity for WBO members to
meet other members and non-WBO members to get to know the group better and see how
WBO will benefit them and their business. It is a proven fact that events of this
nature and face-to-face interactions are great ways to experience and explore
different businesses and learn what others do to reach success."

Women from all over the world will be coming together at this convention to learn
how to work effectively and efficiently in their businesses so their personal life
does not suffer in the beginning years. They will be learning how to form mastermind
groups, support groups, and other related teams of women that support, guide, and
stimulate each other. WBO President Anna Campbell also had this to say: "It is a
phenomenal experience to join together and share wealth of knowledge and to know
that you're not alone"
