Guest Speaker: TheConfidentImage.org
Early in 2008 a small group of friends, led by Dr. Melanie Pugh and her husband Jody, came together to discuss the education gap that exists, generation to generation. This gap is the basic life, social and business skills that are not typically taught or modeled at home or in school. From this meeting the decision was made to form a non profit organization that teaches these skills to young women who have the highest level or personal accountability, no matter their socio-demographic background. Thus, TheconfidentImage.org was born.
TheConfidentImage.org's mission is to teach important life, social and business principles and skills not typically taught at home or in school, to young women who have a high level of personal accountability. This will increase their self esteem, confidence and image, help them to be more competitive in the marketplace, and help them make better decisions in their life.
