The Belle of Mid Ulster Association to host\u00a0 International Women\u2019s Day Conference which will be held in The Heaney HomePlace Bellaghy on Thursday 8th<\/sup> March.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"The Belle of Mid Ulster Association was formed in 2016 to support Mid Ulster Women and to inspire them to flourish personally, economically and professionally.\u00a0 Our Mission Statement is \u201cDevoted to Showcasing the Mid Ulster area as a great place to Live, Work and Visit.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Our chosen charity which we hope to continue to support is The Northern Ireland Air Ambulance.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The organisers of the Conference have decided to source their Speakers this year from Mid Ulster and have a truly inspirational line up of local ladies.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2017 Belle of Mid-Ulster, Ailis Corey, is a two-time blood cancer survivor and a stem-cell transplant recipient.\u00a0 A keen advocate for blood cancer awareness and blood, stem cell and organ donation, Ailis is a member of the \u2018Transplant Sport Northern Ireland\u2019 team and has represented them at the British Transplant Games on three occasions.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Clodagh Dunlop will speak about her remarkable journey when at 37 years old, an inspirational young front line Police Officer was left with locked-in syndrome after suffering a devastating brain stem stroke.\u00a0 Clodagh spent months trapped inside her body unable to move or speak and was only able to communicate by blinking.\u00a0 However, she astounded everyone with her miraculous recovery and chose to do a sky dive to mark the day she almost lost her life.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Emma Heatherington is a bestselling Author from Dungannon, Co Tyrone.\u00a0 The mum of five has penned ten book including the international hit \u2018The Legacy of Lucy Harte\u2019 and the life story of Ireland\u2019s Queen of Country Music, Philomena Begley.\u00a0 She is also an acclaimed scriptwriter, songwriter and poet.\u00a0 Her latest novel \u2018A Part of Me and You\u2019 was published in January by Harper Collins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main theme of the Conference will be \u201cThe Resilience of Women\u201d and our Speakers have already demonstrated that they have this quality not only in their own lives but as they have touched the lives of others.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Conference in Bellaghy would be a source of information, entertainment and enlightenment.\u00a0 We have accommodation for up to 200 people but delegates will be included on a first come first served basis.\u00a0 There are no barriers to who attends this Conference so every lady from Mid Ulster is entitled to attend.\u00a0 Should you wish to reserve a place please book online at Eventbrite<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
