The Progressive Forum Houston presents Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, author of: Know Your Power: A Message To America's Daughters, Friday June 12 at 7:30, at the Wortham Center, Brown Theater.
Nancy Pelosi made history when she became the first woman Speaker of the House in January 2007. She brings to her leadership role more than 20 years of experience in the House representing the city of San Francisco. In a candid conversation with Progressive Forum president, Randall Morton, Pelosi will discuss the broad range of challenges facing the nation and the world, a rare and timely opportunity for Houstonians.
This is also an ideal event for families, especially girls. Pelosi will discuss her book, relate personal stories, and encourage women to get into politics. She'll share lessons learned on her way to becoming the highest ranking woman in politics. She'll sign books and greet fans at the end of the evening.
Private patron reception with Nancy Pelosi is at 7:00 p.m. in the green room for Forum patrons of $1,000 and up and ticket buyers at the $144 level.
Nancy Pelosi will greet fans and sign books after the program in the grand foyer.
All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Pelosi's book, Know Your Power: A Message To America's Daughters as well as a Progressive Forum book plate commemorating the evening. There are two locations for book distribution, the grand foyer and Prairie Street entrance at the orchestra level. One book per ticket.
Additional books will be on sale throughout the evening by Brazos Bookstore.
