I went to the Choice Moms workshop in DC and it was so great being in a room full of like-minded women and realizing that we were all beautiful, intelligent, independent, successful ladies. Before I found this community I just felt like I was so alone in this choice or some kind of societal anomaly. ~ Workshop Participant

2011 events

Choice Moms networking events connect like-minded women who are thinking, trying, waiting, being or becoming single mothers by choice.

Thanks largely to California Cryobank sponsorship -- now in its fifth year -- we have gathered in six cities in 2011; next one is in the Los Angeles area on November 5. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN HERE!

Earlier in the year we've met at:

• Raleigh -- March 19, post-event summary coming soon
• Philadelphia -- April 9, post-event summary coming soon
• Toronto -- June 4, post-event summary coming soon
• Boston -- June 26, post-event summary coming soon
• Seattle -- August 6, post-event summary coming soon

If you aren't sure if this is something you would benefit from, click here to read some of the voices of women who attend. In 2010 we met in Austin, San Francisco, D.C., New York City, Minneapolis and London. Some of the insights we shared at those events can be found with the "Event insights" keyword.

We've also launched an informal coffeehouse resource-gathering series this year, thanks to a new relationship with Fairfax, and will be coming out with regional guides for: Chicago, D.C., Minneapolis, Austin (Texas) and Atlanta.

As always, if you're interested in helping to plan an event, choosing a site, or want to recommend a sponsor/vendor candidate, contact Choice Moms.
