Laga Handbags’ co-founder, Louise van Broekhuizen, was again invited to exhibit at The 2008 Women’s Conference, held on October 21st and 22nd at the Long Beach Convention Center.
“Under the leadership of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver, The Women’s Conference has grown from a small government initiative for working professionals into a far-reaching organization, a life-changing experience, and an international network of women from all walks of life, backgrounds and perspectives.
“The Women’s Conference event is the largest and most dynamic gathering of women in the nation. Recognized for its unparalleled capacity to empower and inspire women to become architects of change, the annual conference unites more than sixty internationally-acclaimed leaders and visionaries with 14,000 women in one arena, plus thousands more virtually, to share enriching stories of transformation and success, words of encouragement and life lessons.”
Among the speakers were Maria Shriver, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Madeleine Albright, Bono, Warren Buffet, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sally Field, Michael J. Fox, Billie Jean King, Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Jenny McCarthy, Jillian Michaels, Indra Nooyi, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Rachael Ray, Condoleeza Rice, Deborah Roberts, Gloria Steinem, Rita Wilson, and many, many more!

It was an amazing conference and we were honored to participate. Laga Handbags had a record show, receiving an overwhelming response to our bags and our story. We want to thank those who support our efforts, those who attended and purchased a Laga bag or two of their own, as well as those who stand together with us and are dedicated to retell the story about the victims of disaster we serve.
The winner of our drawing and the recipient of a new Laga travel bag is:
Brenda Gough of Winchester, California
CONGRATULATIONS, Brenda!
