Clinton Presidential Center Presents: The History and Research of Vital Voices Global Partnership

Join us on Wednesday, April 3 at noon for a program that highlights the history and research behind the work between Vital Voices Global Partnership and the Clinton School of Public Service. Dean Victoria DeFrancesco Soto will moderate a discussion with panelists: Alyse Nelson, Ophelia Akoto, and Rodrigo Santos Legaspi. In 2012, the McLarty Scholars program was established by Donna and Mack McLarty through Vital Voices Global Partnership to provide students with substantive opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, research, international experience and cross-cultural understanding. In February 2023, the culmination of years of McLarty Scholars’ work resulted in the development of a new research tool that entities can use to better evaluate how local governance and programming has enhanced or impeded the development of women leaders. Ophelia Akoto and Rodrigo Santos Legaspi contributed to this research during their time as McLarty Scholars. The two also served as co-authors of “Evaluating a woman's leadership journey and impact by adapting contribution mapping and analysis tools,” published in New Directions for Evaluation, which tackles the challenges of measuring program impact in advancing women's leadership.

Hussman, Jr. in conversation at the Clinton Presidential Center. The pair will discuss Baron’s new book, “Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and the Washington Post,” an insider view of the Washington Post’s evolution from a family-controlled business to a Jeff Bezos enterprise. Just a few years after this transition, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States.
