Looking Forward

Join us on January 27, 2011 for a special event where we culminate a year of exploring Evanston’s women’s history with a look toward the future, asking “What issues do women face today that need our leadership?”

This evening will include a viewing of the 2010 YWCA Evanston/North Shore YWomen Leadership Award film by Susan Hope Engel, documenting the work of three Evanston women leaders and the Evanston Women’s History Project, and a presentation by Sunny Fischer, Executive Director of The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation and co-founder of the Chicago Foundation of Women. Fischer will speak about current issues women in our community face and how we can be inspired by women leaders of the past to take on these issues today.

The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a light reception and exhibit viewing of Lifting as We Climb: Evanston Women and the Creation of a Community, EHCs current exhibit in partnership with the Evanston Women’s History Project. The film and presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $5 for the public, free for EHC members. Reservations are encouraged as capacity is limited.
