Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health and New Hampshire Women’s Foundation Presents Virtual Event with Former Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton

The 16^th annual Women Building Community Lunch-Online takes place on Thursday, October 22, 2020

Lebanon, NH - The New Hampshire Women’s Foundation’s 16^th annual Women Building Community Lunch-Online, presented by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health (D-HH), welcomes special guest Former Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday, October 22, 2020.

Secretary Clinton will be interviewed by Maggie Goodlander, adjunct professor of constitutional & administrative law at UNH Law school. The interview will center on how the lessons of the 19^th amendment inform the work toward modern political equality—for all women—with questions posed to Former Secretary Clinton by several NH women.

“Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health is proud to partner with the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation to support the critical work they are doing this voting season and throughout the year,” said Joanne M. Conroy, MD, CEO and President, of Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health. “We would like to thank the Women’s Foundation and Hillary Rodham Clinton for their leadership on this very important topic. Clinton has been a role model for women’s leadership throughout her career.  Women in leadership roles will continue to move the needle and we, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health, will continue to make diversity, equity and inclusion a part of our health care system’s fabric.”

This year’s theme is She Votes: The 19^th Amendment & the Road Ahead and like so many other events due to the pandemic will be different from the previous 600+ person luncheon gatherings. This year attendees are encouraged to tune in during their lunch break via Facebooks Live or YouTube. There will also be a Zoom networking event for ticketholders, allowing a virtual version of the pre-event mingling so many have come to love.

“It gives me great pleasure to welcome Former Secretary Clinton as our featured speaker as we elevate the importance of women’s voting through the lens of its hard-won history,” says Tanna Clews, CEO of the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation. “In the midst of a global pandemic and with continued attempts to limit voters’ access to the voting booth, we must work harder than ever to ensure women raise their voices and exercise their hard-won right to vote in November,” Clews continued. This event marks the culmination of a series of events offered or sponsored by the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation in recognition of the centennial anniversary of women’s suffrage.

Additional supporters include, Lovering Volvo, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Riverwoods Group, McLane Middleton, Wipfli, Northeast Delta Dental, Revision Energy, Nathan Wechsler, Charter Oak, Ledyard National Bank, Veris, New Hampshire Business Review, NHPR and NHPBS.
