Women of Excellence
Leadership Speaker Series
 
Honoring  Lena L. Kennedy 
 Come and hear the story behind the woman.
 
Thursday, November 19, 2009
11:30am - 1:00pm
Pasadena Central Library
Donald R. Wright Auditorium
 

 

For almost 30 years, Lena Kennedy has worked closely with political leaders and her goal for them has never changed: to mount a political, media, or community campaign that is second to none.   A key part of her winning strategy includes developing a “grassroots” community-outreach program that enables her clients to connect with influential civic leaders, union representatives, corporate executives, civil-liberties activists, and leading local clergy people.  

Most notably Lena was a key member of the National Finance Committee/Obama for America and not only helped organize four successful fundraising events in Pasadena, but, as co-chair of the National Women’s Leadership Initiative, hosted a national conference in Chicago in October, 2008 with Michelle and Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and many other female elected officials from across the country.

This is your opportunity to hear from a local Pasadena woman about her passion and dedication that took her all the way to the First Family
