NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JEN HATMAKER will present the keynote address to Convention of International Chapter of the P.E.O. Sisterhood on Friday, September 13.
Jen is the author of 11 books, including “For the Love” and “Of Mess and Moxie.” She is the happy hostess of a tightly knit online community where she reaches millions of people each week. She and her husband, Brandon, founded the Legacy Collective, a giving community that funds sustainable solutions to systemic problems around the world. They also starred in an HGTV series called “My Big Family Renovation” and live in a 105-year old farmhouse just outside Austin, Texas, with their five kids. Jen speaks at events all over the country and hosts the popular podcast “For the Love with Jen Hatmaker.”
Jen is thrilled to be addressing the Sisterhood at our milestone Convention. She says, “ There is nothing more powerful on earth than a community of women committed to raising up their sisters. In a female world riddled with competition and jealousy, the 150-year history of P.E.O. Sisterhood is a rare treasure that deserves to be applauded. Let’s look back in celebration as we look forward to the future of empowering more women on the margins, from hard places, and with great potential, the incoming legacy of the next 150 years.”

Entertainment at Saturday’s 150th Birthday Bash will be provided by master illusionist Lyn Dillies. Lyn has mesmerized audiences of all ages throughout the U.S. and Canada for over two decades. Hailed as the finest female magician in the land, Lyn’s engaging personality, along with some of the most spectacular, eye-defying illusions in magic today wows her audiences with an unforgettable experience.
A pioneer in the male-dominated profession of magic, Lyn has strived to use her talents to nurture the arts and civics. In 2009, she was honored to receive the Merlin Award from the International Magician’s Society for Female Illusionist of the Year. And in 2013, she was the first female illusionist to ever be presented with the prestigious Milbourne Christopher Award from the Society of American Magicians for her contributions to magic. Past recipients include David Copperfield, Penn and Teller and Siegfried and Roy.
We are looking for sisters to share their vocal talents at Convention of International Chapter on September 14, 2019. A special piece of music has been composed to honor President Sue Baker. Theresa Forrester Spencer, Cottey College professor of music, will lead sisters in song during the Saturday morning Business Meeting at Convention of International Chapter! Join your sisters for this once in a lifetime opportunity!
