Conference Speakers

The 2007 Women's Leadership Conference will be featuring three tremendous speakers!

Chelsey McGee: Friday Dinner Speaker

Chelsey McGee is a natural leader driven to excel in her career and community. She is currently the Owner and CEO of web development agency CGInteracitve, LLC, with noted clients including cable networks TNT, TBS, TCM, the New PeachtreeTV, and many small businesses and non-profit organizations.

While at Georgia Tech studying to gain a Degree in Industrial Engineering, Chelsey applied her knowledge through her two-year internship with Mars, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio. She also actively participated in many campus activities including the Georgia Tech Track & Field Team, Student Government Association, African American Student Union, National Society of Black Engineers, Community Advisor for Woodruff Residence Hall, and part-time employee for the GT Office of Management Services. It was with the Office of Management Services that Chelsey was introduced to the world of web development and decided to pursue it full time after college.

In addition to her campus involvements, Chelsey also had a very strong tie to the community and has always desired to help provide opportunities and mentorship for teenagers. She served as Mentor, Tutor and Head Basketball Coach at the Bellwood Boys and Girls Club for two years before graduating in August 1999. She continues as a mentor for high school students today in many capacities and is determined to do her part to make a difference in the lives of others.

Chelsey was born and raised in College Park, GA, and is married to Curtis McGee, All-ACC & All-American Offensive Lineman in football for Georgia Tech (1992-1996).

Michelle Moore: Saturday Breakfast Speaker

Michelle Moore, born in Baltimore, MD now resides in Atlanta, GA, with her wonderfully supportive family. Schooled in the fine arts of dance and theater at Millikin University, Michelle, like many she knew, pursued a career in the restaurant industry. Enjoying the flexible schedule the industry offered, Michelle had a successful career for 11 years. However, with time, she desired a lifestyle with job security that the restaurant industry could not provide. Michelle acted upon her entrepreneurial spirit and decided to start her own business.

Familiar with opportunities in Mary Kay, Michelle sought out a contact in the Atlanta area, and began her business in March of 2006; she retired from the restaurant industry seven months later. In July of 2007, she debuted as an Independent Sales Director. In the short time since, Michelle has built a business that doubled her previous annual income and earned her two free cars. She leads one of the top units in her national area, and is on target to finish her first year as a director in the prestigious Honor Society. Michelle is also slated to receive Dean’s List honors; a distinction reserved for the top three new directors in each debut class, and is unchallenged in her run for rookie of the year.

Feeling passionately about affording every woman the opportunity to create for herself in an atmosphere with no limitations, Michelle works closely with her unit members to help them develop personally and professionally to their highest potential. As a motivator and business coach, Michelle mentors hundreds of women in an effort to help them enrich their lives.

Jennifer Keitt: Saturday Lunch Speaker

Jennifer Keitt reaches over 1,000,000 women weekly with one simple truth: “There is hope... you can be victorious over life every day!” Women globally are empowered and inspired by her ability to encourage them to live confident, powerful lives. Author of the book, The Power Of Being A Real Woman, she has earned honors for her contributions to the lives of today’s women as the creator and host of the Today’s Black Woman Radio Show.

After graduating from the University of Alabama at Birmingham as a broadcast journalism major, Jennifer turned her love for reporting into a radio show that truly has made a difference in the lives of women across the country. The Today’s Black Woman Radio Show debuted in December of 1991 in Chicago, and motivates women daily on a myriad of relevant topics—including, but not limited to—motherhood, relationships, financial success, self-esteem building and health and beauty tips. The show airs on stations all over the country, including XM Satellite radio.

An entrepreneur at heart, Jennifer, and her husband Tony founded TJ Communications—a media consulting and production company—which produces her Today’s Black Woman Radio Show, manages the Today’s Black Woman Radio Show Website and consults radio stations across the country. Her e-newsletter inspires thousands of subscribers in countries all over the world—including Europe, Africa and the Caribbean—promoting her mission to help women overcome the five mountains in their lives: financial struggle and lack; physical health challenges; spiritual emptiness; relationship chaos and emotional turmoil and volatility.

While media is Jennifer’s passion, she’s currently realizing her dream to establish a “life-institute” for women. The TBW Leadership, Marriage and Family Institute (TBWL.M.F.I.) is designed exclusively for today’s women, allowing them to participate in safe, motivating, life-changing classes, workshops, conferences, and retreats. Jennifer’s desire to see women empowered to live victorious lives is evident in the excellent standard she commands of herself and others. Currently, she lives with her husband and their four children in Atlanta.
