The Atlanta Advisory Council for InterVarsity's Women in the Academy and Professions will host a gathering on September 13 at Emory University called "Flourish: Atlanta."

This will be a gathering of women graduate/professional students, faculty and professionals around calling, courage and confidence – three topics most often brought up in conversations, blogs, print materials etc. when women think/write about and discuss issues we face as we follow our passions.

This event will serve as an opportunity to support and encourage local women as they seek to be faithful to the call of God on their lives and as a pilot project we can learn from as we consider doing something similar in other parts of the country. Please consider joining us. Mark your calendar!

A couple of professional conferences will be held in Atlanta that weekend. Dr. Picard is presenting a paper at one of them. There will be a number of ASA folks at these and it would be wonderful if they could attend all or part of Flourish since they will already be in town.
