MOSES LAKE – Soroptimist International of Moses Lake will host a day-long conference, Dream It, Be It – Career Conference, for girls on Saturday, Nov. 5 at CBTech.

“The skills developed through the day can be applied to any goals the girls identify throughout their education and careers,” said Bea Lucio, president, Soroptimist International Moses Lake.

“The girls will also have the opportunity to speak with working women in a variety of careers and perhaps arrange a mentorship with a woman whose career interests them,” added Veronica Bradley, Dream It, Be It committee co-chair.
