| Washington, D.C. (June 4, 2008) -- As a female entrepreneur starting a business in 1979, Kathleen K. Diamond didn't listen to the word "No".

On June 9 and 10, Diamond, along with 2 other top U.S. female executives, will be participating in the International Conference on "Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Growth" in Casablanca, Morocco. Based on their experiences, they will share strategic business development and corporate growth issues as well as those topics specific to the Middle East and North Africa region. More than 200 Moroccan businesswomen and men will participate in this exciting Conference. |

| The forum is part of a program designed by the U.S. State Department's Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and the Vital Voices Global Partnership. Association de femmes chefs d'entreprises du Maroc ( AFEM),is the local partner for the Conference. The Corporate Ambassador program was designed to develop women entrepreneurship overseas by connecting high-level female executives from the U.S. with rising businesswomen leaders from other countries.
