Malden's LeBlanc Hosts Nancy Kerrigan At RNE Conference

MALDEN, MA — Malden resident Kate Weldon LeBlanc is the Executive Director of RESOLVE New England, which is a "leading voice and progressive driving force connecting the New England community on the many paths to parenthood." LeBlanc recently hosted keynote speaker, Olympic, World and National champion figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, at the 24th annual RESOLVE New England conference for the infertility community on Nov. 4.

While on “Dancing with the Stars,” Kerrigan revealed that she and her husband had experienced secondary infertility and multiple pregnancy losses. She shared her struggles with those facing the same challenges at the conference, which was attended by more than 200 people.

"Our event is the largest conference in the nation focused on informing and supporting individuals and couples trying to become parents," said LeBlanc. "We hear from people all the time that the RNE conference made them feel empowered, and with the comforting realization that they are not walking this road alone."

"I am honored to be the keynote speaker of the RESOLVE New England annual conference," said Kerrigan. "For nearly a quarter century, RNE has been running this event to educate people who are struggling to build their families. I know firsthand that this can be difficult, which makes support and available information critical. The more this topic is out in the open, the better it will be for everyone."
