The Program Committee Presents:

"What No One Tells the Mom: Strategies for Working Mothers"

Speaker: Marg Stark is a funny, dynamic speaker whose messages are positive and practical. The author of the perennial bestseller What No One Tells the Bride (Hyperion, 1998), Stark has appeared on ABC's "The View," "CBS This Morning," and hundreds of radio and TV station news and talk shows. She is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and Northwestern University and has written for magazines such as Ladies' Home Journal, Boston Magazine and Parenting. She lives with her husband and two young boys in Southern California.

Are you a working mother who finds it difficult to balance the demands of your career and your family? Do you have a hard time remembering who you were before someone called you "mommy"? Do you find yourself going from a major gift solicitation for your organization to running a bake sale fundraiser for you child's pre-school? Do you feel like sometimes you're going out of your mind?

With the hit television show "Desperate Housewives," the truth is finally out.... moms are struggling and need help! WHAT NO ONE TELLS THE MOM by Marg Stark, details the pleasures and travails of modern mothering.

Come hear author Marg Stark, a bedraggled supermom herself, share excerpts of her funny new book with anecdotes of her own and those of 100 other moms who admit the insane lengths to which overachieving motherhood has pushed them. Stark reassures women that desperation is common and normal in the early years of parenting, and that "postpartum" is not Latin for "the good times are over." WHAT NO ONE TELLS THE MOM is a sanity-saving book, which offers coping strategies for the first five turbulent years of motherhood.
