The WWIG Board of Directors have announced that the 29th Annual Scholarship and Recognition Gala would feature Donna Shalala, President of the Clinton Foundation, former United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, and past Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison as the keynote speaker. Shalala is making her second appearance as the speaker, returning to WWIG almost 30 years after headlining the very first gala in 1988.
The gala will be held on Thursday, April 14, 2016 at the Edgewater Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin, from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Those interested in attending the event can register here.
For the first time ever, this year’s gala will also feature the inaugural presentation of WWIG’s Rising Star and Legacy awards, bestowed upon remarkable women in government who have made outstanding contributions to their field.
