The diabetes organizations we speak to about this event are genuinely excited and recognize the void that has existed for a very long time for women with diabetes.  The corporations we speak to about potential sponsorship opportunities are ecstatic about the boundless opportunities that exist for a new, innovative, targeted program specifically for women with diabetes.    I look forward to hearing from you and working with many of you to put together this phenomenal event!
