This conference can be overwhelming if you allow every piece of information to be your One Thing.  Amy offers sage advice about praying for God to show you the One Thing He wants you to carry home that transforms your life.

Please take a few moments right now to quiet your heart before the Lord and be still. He is God. God over your life, the details and circumstances. Rest in that assurance.

Now, onto some FAQs!

1. If you purchased Airport Shuttle tickets, they were mailed Friday. Please be patient since yesterday was a holiday.
~Please call our office at 877-731-4663 if still need to purchase them. The sooner the better please!

2. We just put Speaker Evaluation Groups together and emailed the evaluation group leaders late Friday. Many of them are on vacation this week so if you don’t hear from them right away, don’t worry. You will hear from your group leader as soon as they return from their vacations.

3. The Hotel Rooming List is complete and final. We are now at the point when changes are not possible as every change from this point on takes an hour of administrative work. Thanks for understanding!

4. We can no longer accept new requests for Publisher Appointments. If you got your request in by last Friday, we have your appointment scheduled. We’ll send those to you next week with your finalized schedule.

Thanks for understanding y’all!

We love you!!

p.s. many women have connected over here on Facebook! Join ‘em for conversation, encouragement and fellowship, plus great tips and advice.

Nicki making copies for our
She Speaks Speaker Evaluation Groups

Nicki serves Proverbs in another capacity as well. She Seeks is blessed to have her as the devotional coordinator and a contributing writer!

Many hands make for light work! Thank you Nicki!

Fun Facts: Nicki is quite the globetrotter, having lived in or visited Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Africa, El Salvador and many other countries! Perhaps this is why she loves to share her heart for foreign missions with her three cutie-pie daughters!

Her advice: Relax. Have fun. Make lots of new friends. Trust that God has a unique calling for your life and His timing and His direction will be perfect. Journal as much as you can while you are there and take several days after you get home to absorb it all.

Her prayer for you: That your heart, soul and mind will be refreshed and renewed for the incredible purpose that God has for your life!

Melissa fielding calls for publisher appointments
and conference calls

Melissa’s been with Proverbs almost ten years as a speaker and almost four years in the office.  She’s attended and/or worked She Speaks every year but the first one! Get a hug from her when you register, stop by her Gather & Grow group table and you just might be in her Speaker Evaluation group!

Pre-Conference notebook inserts

Fun Facts: Melissa loves her toes in the sand with a book in her hand! At any moment she may burst into song ranging from Disney classics to Elvis and everything in between. And she rises with the sun to “hang out” with Jillian Michaels.

Her advice: Don’t get uptight before coming to the conference. While you’re there, take time to soak in every moment, each new friendship, and the words God has to speak just to you. And visit the Prayer Room as soon as you can… you’ll be so blessed!!

Her prayer for you: Remember as you’re there, that God is before you, He’s behind you and His hand of blessing is on your head… you have nothing to fear.  {Psalm 139:5}

If you’ve pitched a book proposal at She Speaks in years past, Sheila Mangum was the gem coordinating those meetings. She’s been a dear friend of the ministry for well over a decade, but is new to the office as of this year.

Melissa Taylor, our admin assistant, and Sheila

Sheila came onboard in February as She Speaks Registration Coordinator. She does more than 26 letters of the alphabet could describe! From registration to shuttles to publisher appointments to conference calls to roommates to changes to… phew! You can imagine how busy she is.

Through it all you’ll hear her sweet southern voice loving everyone who calls with a honey, angel-pie, pumpkin!

Sheila rocks!

Fun Facts: Sheila has given everyone in the office a nickname!! Chick-fil-A Chicken Minis, Diet Coke and pretzels carry her through on her 45 minute drive either way to work (and that’s without traffic!). And she loves Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer!

Her advice: Talk to everyone you meet! Get to know the whole group, because there’s so many different callings and paths that each woman has walked and you can glean wisdom. Love on as many people as you can, cause it truly is a once in a lifetime event!

Her prayer for you: For God to direct each appointment you have there!
