California First Lady Maria Shriver Graces Cover of SUCCESS Magazine December 2010 Issue

Online, October 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - On the heels of hosting more than 140 speakers, authors, celebrities and business, spiritual and political leaders-as well as an estimated 30,000 attendees-at The Women's Conference®, California's First Lady Maria Shriver is featured in and appears on the cover of SUCCESS magazine, the iconic title which serves the growing entrepreneur and small-business markets.

Within the magazine, Shriver talks about the impact the annual event has had on millions of lives in California and beyond. "We're a movement; we're a main event; we're about personal transformation," she says. "But we're also about giving you the tools to go out and become an architect of change, not just in your own life, but in the world around you." The magazine feature, entitled "It's Time," includes a history and timeline with highlights of The Women's Conference throughout the years.

SUCCESS magazine publisher Darren Hardy conducted a one-on-one interview with Shriver which is included on an audio CD inserted into every issue. "There are so many ways to describe Maria Shriver," says Hardy. "She is a journalist, author, producer, entrepreneur, advocate, philanthropist and more. But the description that best suits her is architect of change. Maria's goal is to empower people to take charge of their lives and inspire them to reach beyond themselves. She seeks to encourage and equip individuals so that they can become architects of change in their communities and around the world for the greater good."

The December issue of SUCCESS magazine hits newsstands on Tuesday, November 2.
