We are excited to announce
our 28th Annual Luncheon keynote speakers:
Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof
In 2009, the New York Times best-selling book, "Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide" was released and started an international movement that highlighted the oppression facing women and girls around the globe. As co-authors of the book and inspiration for the movement, wife-and-husband team Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas D. Kristof have helped the world see that the key to human progress lies in unleashing the potential of women and girls.
On October 8, join CFW and nearly 2,000 guests as we celebrate the perseverance and power of women and girls, at home and around the world.
