20th Annual Women Helping Women Fund Benefit Luncheon

Elizabeth Smart speaking at the 20th Annual WHW Fund Benefit Luncheon in Spokane

May 21 marked the 20th Annual Women Helping Women Fund Benefit Luncheon. It was held in the Spokane Convention Center and packed wall to wall with inspirational women and men from all over the great Northwest. Every table had a captain, which symbolically was a person who had attended before or sponsored others to be at their table. Each captain welcomed their guests and spent time helping the members network with one another. I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Elizabeth J. Keeler as my captain, thanks to the generous sponsoring by one of Eastern’s own, Dr. Jennifer Stucker.  Dr. Keeler was jubilant to be celebrating her 20th year in attendance at the WHWF Benefit Luncheon, which made the atmosphere of our table that much more amazing.

Screening of “Miss Representation”

The Magic Lantern recently screened the documentary “Miss Representation” as part of Get Lit! week. It is a film that explores the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America, and challenges the media’s limited portrayal of what it means to be a powerful woman.
