Know Your Value founder Mika Brzezinski announced on Tuesday that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will headline the inaugural Forbes 30/50 Summit, a global event gathering generations of women from both the “30 Under 30” list and “50 Over 50” list in Abu Dhabi in March to mark International Women’s Day. Clinton will receive the Forbes International Women’s Day Lifetime Achievement Award to commemorate her leadership and influential voice on the global stage in advancing the cause of women and fighting for gender equity.
Brzezinski will interview Secretary Clinton on-stage, as part of the award acceptance, exploring a lifetime of defining moments: from her commencement speech at Wellesley College in 1969 where as a young woman she advocated for dissent in the face of injustice, to her “call to action” at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women as First Lady where she proclaimed that “women’s rights are human rights,” to her work as a U.S. Senator and Secretary of State where she made women’s rights a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy.
“Hillary Clinton helped shape and define an era in which women rose in protest, changed the conversation and ultimately came to power,” said Brzezinski. “The movement that she helped catalyze and still drives today has provided the inspiration for us to do more, and that’s what we plan to do in Abu Dhabi at the first-ever International Women’s Day event.”
