The keynote
speaker for this year’s conference is Pam Lewis, a chemist
and the founder of Pam Lewis & Associates, a scientific
research and product development services company in Boerne.
“The
Expanding Your Horizons Conference
is one of the best things parents can do to encourage their
daughters in science and mathematics,” said Comuzzie. “It’s
inspiring and it is filled with wonderful role models. Most
importantly, it’s fun. Be ready for your daughter to come
home talking non-stop about everything she did.”
