Dr. Julie White, an internationally respected lecturer on self-presentation and career-accelerating skills, will be the keynote speaker at "In Control," a Lakeland College conference designed to help women strengthen their business skills, May 2 and 3 in Lloydminster.

Based in San Francisco, Dr. White has delivered business oriented motivational seminars across North America. She promotes active participation, collaboration, and the open airing of differences as strengths that are essential to professional and personal growth. Her fast-paced, humorous and technique oriented presentations consistently receive rave reviews.

Other feature speakers of "In Control" include Judy Schultz, well known across northern Alberta as the Edmonton Journal's food editor and dining critic; and Alda Arthur, president and publisher of Women in Business, Canada's national publication for professional and managerial women. Schultz's business background includes work with CBC radio and television and a number of magazines, as well as being a former teacher. Arthur will be a panelist for the marketing strategies seminar.

Delegates can choose from 15 seminars which focus on the development of skills in entrepreneurial, managerial, and professional/personal areas. These sessions will help women gain confidence and learn successful business strategies. Topics range from operating a business at home, to establishing professional and personal goals.

The first such conference to be held outside a major centre, "In Control" is co-sponsored by the Federal Business Development Bank, Saskatchewan Tourism and Small Business, and Mistikwa Community College.

Registration forms and complete details about "In Control" are available at all Lakeland College offices. Registration before April 2 earns a discount. The conference takes place at Lloydminster's Wayside Inn, where accommodation is also available.
