Recording artists, Keb’ Mo’ and Rosanne Cash put the phrase to music when they released their famed duet in 2018, and since then, it has become an anthem of sorts. “’Put a Woman in Charge’ is about trying something else,” Keb’ Mo’ has said. “There have been a lot of great achievements made by men, or by the masculine, but maybe, just maybe, we’ve gotten too comfortable with the imbalance of men in power and have fallen short of not listening and embracing what women have to offer when they lead.”
In launching this new column WOMEN IN CHARGE, I look forward to illuminating women who have reached vaulted levels of accomplishment in their chosen paths and continue to strive. An opportunity lies ahead this fall to be in the presence of such highly esteemed women when U. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will headline The Alturas Institute’s 2020 “Conversations with Exceptional Women” two-day program at the Argyros Performing Arts Center, and the Sun Valley Pavilion.
In addition to Justice Ginsburg, the event will feature other extraordinary speakers, including recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, an Olympic Gold Medalist, award-winning authors and journalists, prize-winning film actors, producers and directors, national security and finance experts, academics, and national television commentators.
The Alturas Institute, in response to the extraordinary interest in its event, has announced a second venue and the sale of additional tickets for a session featuring U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“A Conversation with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg” will be held at 2:30 p.m. MDT, Wednesday, September 2, at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Tickets for this session will go on sale at 9 a.m. MDT, March 12, at alturasinstitute.com. Tickets for seating within the Pavilion are at $100. Lawn seating tickets are $25.
Current ticket holders for “Conversations with Exceptional Women,” held September 1-2, at the Argyros Performing Arts Center, will bear no additional expense and will be given preferred seating at the Sun Valley Pavilion for the session with Justice Ginsburg.
