“Conversations with Exceptional Women” 2019, Annual Conference with the Alturas Institute

by

Hosted by the Alturas Institute, and in collaboration with The Community Library, come and meet exceptional women who have found their voices, and, moreover, hear their stories. Speakers include writer Karen Crouse, eight-time Olympic medalist Allison Schmitt, Naomi McDougall Jones, and Tara Buck, among others.

These are conversations that will illuminate women’s journey to access and power, as well as the challenges that lie ahead. It’s been 100 years since Congress passed the 19th amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote. Let’s talk about How Far We’ve Come.

Tickets are $125, including coffee and lunch. Scholarships are available.

(Students are free: Reserve a spot by contacting Dr. David Adler, david.adler@alturasinstitute.com, 208-313-6554 )

Books will be available for sale and signing, courtesy of Chapter One Bookstore.

Conference registration is full. For more information visit the Alturas Institute website.

Both days of the conference will also be LIVE STREAMED HERE.
