SUMMIT AGENDA
SUMMIT PRE-EVENT
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 | REGAL BATTERY PARK STADIUM

7:30 - 7:35 pm Good Evening & Warm Welcome!

At our first get together of the Summit, hear from Elizabeth Sheehan, Board of Directors,
WMM, for a special greeting.

7:35 - 9:00 pm Film for Social Change: Fighting the Backlog

Emmy and Golden Globe winning actress, Mariska Hargitay, Founder & President of
the Joyful Heart Foundation plays Lieutenant Olivia Benson on the long-running NBC
series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In 2004, in response to the thousands of
letters she had been receiving from survivors of sexual assault, Mariska was inspired to
found the Joyful Heart Foundation, whose mission is to transform society’s response to
sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse, support survivors’ healing, and end
this violence forever. At the heart of their advocacy work is their campaign to end the
backlog of hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits sitting in storage facilities across
the United States.

In May, Mariska released her first documentary film, I AM EVIDENCE, which highlights
the reasons behind the alarming national rape kit backlog. The film explores how the
justice system serves survivors, by providing firsthand accounts from four women about
their assaults and the hours, weeks, months, and years following their evidence collection.

Moderated by Media Pioneer and Curator of TED Women Pat Mitchell, Mariska will
join in a conversation with Kym Worthy, Wayne County Prosecutor, Maile Zambuto, CEO,
Joyful Heart Foundation and Regina Scully, Founder and CEO of Artemis Rising Foundation,
Executive Producer, I AM EVIDENCE and WMM Member to discuss what is being
done to end the backlog and what this film will mean for survivors across the United
States as they continue to seek healing and justice.

Introduction by Marcia Cardamore, WMM Member & Chair of the Violence Against
Women & Girls Circle.

12:00 pm - 12:45 pm Embodied Leadership: Advancing Women’s Rights On & Off the Field
Gallery Ballroom | 4th Floor
Participation in sports has a profound effect on the confidence of girls in the classroom
to the success of women in the boardroom. In fact, Ernst & Young found that 94% of
women in the C-Suite had played sports at a collegiate level. Globally, however, women
and girls face major barriers to participation in sport. These barriers reflect the status
and role of women in different societies. Moderated by Minky Worden, Director of Global
Initiatives, Human Rights Watch this conversation with Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, Athletic
Director, Pleasant View School, Motivational Speaker & Basketball Trainer, Julie Foudy,
Two-time Olympian Gold Medalist & Former US Women’s Soccer Team Captain and

Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All, and Vien
Truong, CEO of the Dream Corps, will share powerful stories of the very real risks
women face from climate change, why natural disasters are more likely to threaten
women than men, and how access to sustainable energy is essential to the liberation of

powerful voices are rich and colorful, their music is authentic and full of compassion.
Their repertoire contains both original pieces and covers. You can hear their gospel
background in their music and they have an ability to bring music alive that draws
crowds to listen.

2:40 - 3:30 pm Universal Access to Contraceptives
When women and girls have the tools to plan and space their pregnancies, there is a
multiplier effect: women and their babies are healthier; children are better educated; and
over time, entire economies become more prosperous. Multiply that across millions of
families and access to contraceptives is one of the greatest anti-poverty innovations the
world has ever seen. But currently there is an estimated 225 million women worldwide
who are not receiving the information and services they need to plan their families. This
conversation with Seema Jalan Ignacio, Executive Director, Universal Access Project &
Policy, United Nations Foundation, Dr. Pauline Muchina, Director of Healthy Families,
Healthy Planet, United Methodist Church and Ugochi Daniels, Chief Humanitarian
Response, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) will explore how access to
contraceptives can have a transformative effect on women, their families and the
economic development of communities. Introduced by Akruti Desai, Senior Program
Officer, Philanthropic Partnerships, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

3:30 - 3:50 pm Exploding the Binary: Gender Fluidity in the 21st Century
Dr. Caroline Heldman, Associate Professor, Politics, Occidental College examines the
history and meaning of the gender binary, and analyzes the rise of fluidity of gender in
contemporary U.S. society. She unpacks differences between sex, gender, and
sexuality to better understand how they are distinct and how they interact to shape
common notions of “gender.” Dr. Heldman also focuses on the ways in which young
Americans are expressing their gender to demonstrate how gender roles are socially
constructed. Through a critical analysis of how we construct “masculinity” and
“femininity,” we’ll see how gender norms are currently harmful and can be improved to
enable healthier, happier living for everyone. Introduction by Carol Andreae, Board of
Directors, WMM.

3:50 - 4:15 pm Polling & Wrap Up

4:15 pm - 5:30 pm A Little “You” Time

talent and treasure to many communities – her beloved family, her hugely successful
business, and the global community of women she supports and inspires. Balancing
her identity across these very diverse communities has allowed Diane to remain nimble
in achieving her goals. In this conversation with Lisa Witter, Executive Chairman and
Co-Founder of Apolitical, Diane will share her story of resilience, voice, transition and
empowerment.

Hello Again!
9:30 - 9:45 am
Gallery Ballroom | 4th Floor
Welcome back to your community.

9:45 - 10:25 am Civil Conversations: Speaking Together Differently in Order to Live

Together Differently
How do we create common life anew for this century? Perhaps it is time to find new
ways to get in the same room with others, and create new conversation and relationship
with our neighbors who have become strangers. Let’s challenge our personal definition
of community, and create more intention around the connection between inner self
and outer presence in the world - who we want to be and who we will be to each other.
Joining us for this timely conversation is Krista Tippett, Peabody Award-winning Broad-
caster & NYT Best-Selling Author in conversation with Dr. Stacy Smith, Associate
Professor, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Introduction
by Pam Norley, President, Fidelity Charitable.

10:25 - 11:10 am Finance: Feminism’s New Frontier

There is over $250 trillion in global wealth today, the majority of which is parked in
bank deposits, in funds and in various investment products whose sole mission is to
maximize financial return on capital. But times are changing, and increasingly, funds
are seeking to have social as well as financial impact. We are the community that could
lead the movement to align investment capital with a vision for gender equality.
Moderated by former Goldman Sachs partner and WMM Co-founder, Jacki Zehner is
joined by Suzanne Biegel, Founder, Catalyst At Large, Elizabeth Carlock Phillips,
Executive Director, Phillips Foundation and WMM Board Member and Abigail Noble,
CEO, The ImPact.

11:10 - 12:00 pm Women Moving Millions: Who We Are, What We Do, Where We’re Going
Over 10 incredible years, evolving from a Campaign to a Community, we have built a

Gallery Ballroom | 4th Floor
We are people that go big and act bold when it comes to our philanthropic investments
in women and girls. With the power of community behind us we can bring those same

1:25 - 3:15 pm Workshop #5: Our Brains on Race & Gender: Deep Dive
West Ballroom 3 | 2nd Floor
Gender shapes our experiences in many ways, and it never operates in isolation - our
race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, class, and other identity characteristics affect
how we navigate the world. In the media, workplaces, communities, schools, and homes,
issues of gender, race, ethnicity, and class can be polarizing. We see extraordinary
promise in our movement toward gender equity, but with each new “first,” we also see
backlash. As we work through the challenges of everyday life, the obstacles created by
gender inequity can seem like insurmountable barriers. The Perception Institute
inspires people to live their values. Learn about how to look at gender through an
intersectional lens and how it can impact philanthropy from an authentic space with
context and understanding.

Presenter:
• Alexis McGill Johnson, Executive Director, Perception Institute

3:15 - 3:25 pm Bring it in...

Come back to the Gallery Ballroom for our final opportunity to share and be together.
