Defining Moments: The Life & Leadership of Frances Hesselbein

Join the Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University and the Pitzer Justice Education Center for a private screening of an upcoming documentary based on the groundbreaking work and leadership of Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Frances Hesselbein. A true “pioneer for women, volunteerism, diversity, and opportunity,” Hesselbein was one of the most important figures in the leadership movement, where her influence extended from nonprofit management to corporate boards to the U.S. Army. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, for her leadership as CEO of Girl Scouts from 1976–1990, and was later appointed to two Presidential Commissions on National and Community Service. “Defining Moments” shares the extraordinary impact of Hesselbein’s work, while exploring how her ideas can help leaders today safeguard a democracy under threat.

The screening will feature a reception and panel on women in leadership before the film, as well as a discussion with the film producers after. Refreshments will be provided.

This film is open to the Claremont Colleges Community and public. Registration is required. Seating is limited.
