Full Participation
A half-day conference exploring the connections between all types of philanthropy and the progress of women and girls locally and around the world.
Philanthropy New York is pleased to announce that Hillary Rodham Clinton, former United States Secretary of State, will be the featured speaker for our 35th Annual Meeting.
Sec. Clinton will discuss her work toward the goal of full participation of women and girls at home and abroad, and what philanthropy can do today to improve human rights and economic empowerment for all people. She will focus on the No Ceilings initiative, an effort led by Sec. Clinton and the Clinton Foundation to bring together partner organizations to evaluate and share the progress women and girls have made in the 20 years since the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.
The session with Sec. Clinton will be the final portion of a half-day conference exploring the connections between all types of philanthropy and the progress of women and girls locally and around the world.
