(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The “New Beginnings” conference, hosted by the Minnesota Business Women, will be held on April 30, 2010 at the Crowne Plaza North in Brooklyn Center, MN. This conference will offer opportunities to learn, to network, to market products and businesses. The evening will feature an “Unhappy” Hour sponsored by “Rich Chicks: Financial Freedom for Women” at which attendees will learn to embrace prosperity. “Unhappy” Hour will also feature a discussion of current rates of pay for women in the marketplace, which remain below those of their male counterparts.
