A native of Park Ridge, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton’s middle-class upbringing taught her the value of hard work, determination, and the importance of public service. Now, she’s returning this spring to talk about how Chicago provided the foundation upon which she built her life and career. Join her for a far-reaching, intimate conversation about her work advocating for civic engagement through Onward Together, her thoughts on current affairs, and her connection to Chicago’s own beloved local activist, Joanne Alter. The conversation will be led by Alter's granddaughter and senior correspondent at TIME, Charlotte Alter.

This annual lecture honors the late Joanne H. Alter’s pioneering work on behalf of women interested in social action and public service.
