The selection of 2012 luncheon keynote speaker Elizabeth Smart was announced to the membership of the Pioneer Circle on October 26, 2011 (see Elizabeth's video greeting). The Women Helping Women Fund speaker committee spent several months working to bring in a speaker whose message makes a direct connection to the WHWF mission. Choosing a speaker whose work addresses serious issues in the world and whose story will inspire and empower the audience were also high priorities.
Abducted as a teen, Elizabeth’s example and life now is a daily demonstration that there really is life after a tragic event. She not only tells her story, but also discusses overcoming extreme adversity and not allowing your past to dictate your life's future. The May 21, 2012 luncheon celebrates the 20-year milestone of WHWF’s mission to empower women and children to create healthy families and vibrant communities.
