NEW YORK – Marsha Firestone, president of the Women Presidents’ Organization has announced that Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, co-anchor of CNBC’s “Worldwide Exchange,” will be a keynote speaker at the WPO 2006 Annual Conference, to be held on April 27-29 at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago. Caruso-Cabrera will focus on financial trends in day-to-day business and how they affect businesses globally and domestically. The conference encourages WPO members to share business strategies and experience with other successful women from all over North America, as well as learn from interactive seminars and speakers.

“Michelle Caruso-Cabrera is an empowering woman who has broken boundaries to successfully rise to the top in her field,” said Firestone. “Her financial insight and inspiring presence will be beneficial for our members as they plan 2006.
