    Keynote Speaker:  
    Jeannette Walls
    The YWCA of Greater Portland is thrilled to be featuring best-selling author, MSNBC correspondent and columnist, Jeannette Walls as the keynote speaker at our 16th Annual Leadership Luncheon. Her novel, *The Glass Castle has catapulted her from reporting on celebrities to being the subject of celebrity reporting! After 80 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, Ms. Walls recently riffed with Stephen Colbert on the popular Colbert Report, and The Glass Castle has been  optioned into a feature length film.

    Ms. Walls is witty and engaging, embodying the kind of story that we often see in those seeking services at the YWCA. An afternoon with Jeanette Walls will drive our major yearly fundraiser and is sure to be a memorable event.To register and purchase tickets click: HERE
    *Ms. Walls will be signing her book in the lobby after the Luncheon.
