The conference brings together more than 100 girls from the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to promote leadership in young women.

If ever there was a dynasty at Damascus High School, the Kreysa family might have a claim on it.
In November, seniorKelsey Kreysa, 17, was the third member of her family crowned homecoming queen for the green and yellow Swarmin' Hornets. Older sisters Kaela and Katie, now students at the University of Maryland at College Park, won the crown in 2004 and 2002, respectively.
Their dad, lawyer Francis Kreysa, offered a humble explanation: "They all take after my wife, which is very good," he said.
Kelsey preferred to downplay the whole thing. "My parents think it's, like, really a cool thing, I guess because they are my parents," she said. "Me and my sisters, I don't know, we don't think that it's so big."
The future could hold more tiaras for the family mantle. The last of the Kreysa tribe, 13-year-old twins Mary and Margaret, start ninth grade at Damascus in the fall.
