Marie Osmond will be the keynote speaker at the 23rd Central California Women's Conference on Sept. 14 at the Fresno Convention Center. This year's theme is "Live What Matters 2U."
Conference coordinator Mary Stabelfeld says Osmond was a natural choice because she's accomplished in so many different areas: entertainment, business and charity work. She co-founded the Children's Miracle Network, which provides health care to more than 17 million children.
Jan Edwards, conference development director, says a key reason Osmond agreed to speak is because the purpose of the Central California Women's Conference is to enrich the lives of women.
"Our conference gives back thousands of dollars each year to Valley women and children in need," Edwards says in a news release.
Osmond will speak about her very public life, which recently included a weight battle and the suicide of her son, Michael Blosil, and her personal values that keep her moving forward.
