UNIQUE LIVES & EXPERIENCES presents the four-part lecture series “Live and in Person” at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. Dates for the 2008 series are: February 5th , March 18th , April 7th, and May 30th. The scheduled speakers are:

  • Antonia Novello, first female U.S. Surgeon General, children's health advocate
  • Geena Davis, Academy Award winner, "The Image of Women In the Media"
  • Caroline Kennedy, public service advocate, an UL&E Exclusive Engagement
  • Judy Collins, American folk legend "A Journey of Suicide, Survival & Strength"
  • This very special, multi-evening lecture series is designed to motivate, challenge and enlighten anyone with a strong desire to learn from the variety of personal perspectives and life experiences of these distinguished women. While this is not a YWCA of Silicon Valley-sponsored event, we know the speakers will provide an evening of women's empowerment to all in attendance.

    UL&E, North America's foremost women's lecture series, was developed in response to women's requests for intellectual entertainment, providing a forum for meaningful dialogue and stimulating interaction. For more information please go to the UNIQUE LIVES & EXPERIENCES website or contact:

    Predominantly geared toward women, each lecture not only allows the audience to listen to the words, wit, and wisdom of the celebrity speaker, but also to participate in a question-and-answer session. “Our speakers enjoy the experiences almost as much as the audience,” says Howard Szigeti, Executive Producer.
