Conroy knows a bit about empowering young ladies. Twenty years ago he started the Beverly Bandits, a nationally recognized elite fast pitch softball team that has won numerous national championships and has sent more than 400 young women to Division 1 college scholarships.

To be held August 10-12 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Empowering Girls for Life is a multifaceted, multimedia event featuring female leaders in athletics, business, entertainment and education. Half of the speakers are former national champions or Olympic gold medal winners.

The show will provide a venue for girls from 7 to 17 to meet and interact with high profile women with proven track records of success in their respective fields. Empowering Girls for Life will also help girls and their parents get a head start on important pre-college necessities such as ACT/SAT testing, financial aid opportunities and the college selection process.

All women under 18 attending will receive a gift bag that will include vouchers, gift cards and souvenirs.
