ONTARIO, CA (MAY 8, 2003) - The Ontario Convention Center will host the annual Women and Business Expo this Friday, May 16. Heather Mills McCartney, wife of Sir Paul McCartney will serve as the keynote speaker.

"This year's Expo promises to be inspiring," stated Amita Patel, OCVB's director of sales and marketing. "The lineup of Heather Mills McCartney, Susan McDougal and Jackie Kallen is phenomenal and we expect a great turnout to see them."

Heather McCartney is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the nation's most influential philanthropists. She has tirelessly campaigned for over 11 years to raise funds and awareness for landmines which led to her nomination for a Nobel Prize in 1996. Susan McDougal faced federal prosecutors who represented Counsel Kenneth Starr during the Clinton Administration. Refusing to testify, she ended up serving 21 months in prison. Jackie Kallen is the world's most famous female boxing manager. She has written a self-help book entitled "Hit Me With Your Best Shot: A Fight Plan for Dealing with All of Life's Hard Knocks."
