NGO Consultation Day should be interesting

Note - the deadline to register for the NGO Consultation Day is 10 February 2011.

Under-Secretary-General Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director for UN Women, has been invited to give the keynote address. Dr Kaosar Afsana, Director, Health Programme, BRAC Bangladesh and this year’s NGO CSW/NY Woman of Distinction honoree, will speak on Mobile technologies helping poor urban and rural women --lessons learned.
There will be a special event on UN Women. In addition, an expert panel and break-out sessions will address issues of girls and women’s participation in education, science and technology and violence against girls.

I'm registered and excited to spend the day (Feb. 21) with other NGOs. Always a good start to the CSW'!
