Dr. Becky Spurlock Headshot"Purposeful Choices is the theme of the conference, and I'll be talking about finding purpose in the choices you have made and how to use the choices you will make to shape the life you want," said Spurlock.

Her speech will explore how reflecting on life choices can empower individuals to achieve their goals.

As an experienced keynote speaker, Spurlock values the opportunity to connect with the diverse audience at the symposium, which draws women from varied backgrounds and professions.

“I take it very seriously when people are willing to give their time and attention and listen to me speak,” Spurlock said. “The opportunity to speak to a large crowd but make personal connections with people in the audience through stories and humor is special. I can't wait for this year's event.”

Spurlock expressed her admiration for the symposium's role in fostering connections and support among West Texas women.

The impact of these connections resonates long after the event, with women regularly approaching her to reflect on how her words have influenced their lives.

Emphasizing the importance of community, Spurlock added, “Too many people feel alone in their experiences. I hope women will come to this event as I believe they will find deep connections and camaraderie as we dive into the purposeful choices we make that shape our lives.”
