Orchard House is hosting a Symposium on Leadership for girls on March 4th.
The all day event feature numerous well known speakers….Of particular interest is the seminar by Dr. JoAnnDeak, “How Girls Thrive.”

This year at Orchard House School, we’re celebrating our tenth anniversary. We could think of no better way to honor and celebrate this milestone than to share our commitment to future leadership with the broader Richmond Community. In March of 2008 Orchard House will host a symposium drawing together three cutting-edge writers and consultants to speak on issues of leadership, power, intellect, and intimacy - issues of great importance to us, our daughters, and girls everywhere.

Join us as we explore strategies for strengthening the connections between personal authenticity and contemporary leadership for girls.

Dr. Margaret J. Wheatley is a renowned authority on issues of organizational leadership and community building amid chaotic times.

Dr. JoAnn Deak’s pioneering work connecting the effect of gender with positive social, emotional, and intellectual development has helped countless girls thrive throughout the world.

Deborah Roffman’s provocative work on intimacy and authenticity is recognized nationally as an elemental approach to honest personal development and healthy relationships.
