The New Agenda will be HONORING Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who has been an inspirational force in the formation and growth of our organization, on Thursday, May 6th, 2010.
We met Lynn in May 2008 as she courageously led the first meeting of Together4US, a group of prominent Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters who met to continue HRCs legacy.
Many refer to that first meeting, held at a home in Pound Ridge, NY as The Second Seneca Falls. It was with Lynn's inspiration that in August 2008 we formed an offshoot of Together4US to focus solely on womens issues. That organization, The New Agenda, was based on Lynns vision: womens issue and country ahead of political party.
As The New Agenda took off to become a national organization, Lynn has stayed closely connected with us and helped us carve our ever evolving path. Like Lynn, The New Agenda has stayed true to its vision of honoring Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton by standing up for women in this country who often have no voice. As well, The New Agenda has honored the vow made at our first meeting: never to be silent again while a women leader was subjected to sexism.
The May 6th event will be The New Agenda Inc.s (our 501c4) first major event, and so it is only appropriate that we honor a woman who has stood with us throughout. Lynn, like our organization, always puts women and country first. And while most of Secretary Clintons supporters went back to their every day lives, Lynn remains one of the few outspoken advocates for women and country.
