Jennifer Siebel Newsom, director and producer of the documentary "Miss Representation," brings her message of how small actions can change statistics like these and others noted in the film to Omaha on Thursday, October 18, as keynote speaker for the 12th annual Women's Fund Fall Luncheon.
Newsom's focus is on how the media's misrepresentation of women contributes to their underrepresentation in positions of power and leadership in business, politics and life.
As is tradition at the luncheon, grants will be presented to local nonprofit agencies for programs targeting what Women's Fund research has identified as the most critical needs for local women and girls. Additionally, one woman will receive keys to a refurbished 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt under the Recycled Rides program.
Nonprofit agencies nominate clients for the program, and the recipient will be selected by a Women's Fund committee. The luncheon takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Ramada Plaza Hotel, 3321 South 72nd St.
Ticket prices are:
individual, $75; individual corporate, $150; corporate table (10 seats), $1,500.
Registration information is available on the Women's Fund website, www.omahawomensfund.org.
