Women's voice topic of forum set in LR

In partnership with the Clinton Foundation, the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock will hold an event called "Empowering Women and Girls: Amplify Your Voice" on Monday.

No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project is a Clinton Foundation initiative led by former Secretary of State and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton to inspire and advance the full participation of women and girls around the world. Earlier this month, the Clinton Foundation unveiled the "Full Participation Report," presenting the most complete picture of the status of women's participation since the 1995 United Nations' Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.

Participants include Arkansas Children's Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer Marcy Doderer; Wal-Mart Senior Director of Women's Economic Empowerment Beth Keck; Director of No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project Terri McCullough; Chief Executive Officer of YWCA USA Dara Richardson-Heron; and founder and Executive Director of KIPP Delta Public Schools Scott Shirey.

Seats for the noon event in the Clinton Presidential Center's Great Hall can be reserved by emailing publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or calling (501) 683-5239.
