Speaker Series Monday Lunch: Meet Dee Dee Myers in Conversation with Todd Purdum | June 5

Monday, June 5, 2023 — 11:30 am

Widely known as the first female press secretary in the United States

Dee Dee Myers’ career in politics, communications and entertainment has been an inspiration to women, and men, everywhere. Following her time in the White House under the Clinton administration, which inspired Allison Janey’s famed role as C. J. Cregg on The West Wing, Myers went on to become a political analyst, entertainment consultant and head of communications and public affairs at Warner Brothers. Her book, Why Women Should Rule the World, blends her memoir with an assessment on the crucial, but long-ignored strengths that female leaders bring to the table.

She takes a break from her current role as a senior advisor to Governor Gavin Newsom and Director of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development to join us at The Ebell for a lively discussion with her husband, Todd Purdum, noted journalist and political correspondent (New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic).

Be sure to RSVP for what is sure to be a lively and wildly thoughtful conversation.
