SUMMARY:The Girls Who Beat the Odds Stories of Women Who Changed the Course of Sports History (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual event with Mari K. Eder\, to celebrate the release of her new book\, The Girls Who Beat the Odds Stories of Women Who Changed the Course of Sports History.  \nThe untold and unheralded stories of women in sports history\, forgotten no longer… \nSo many women in sports history have been overlooked. Their strength and perseverance dismissed or forgotten. Even the most well-known women athletes don’t garner the same attention as their men counterparts. \nDespite this\, new generations are engaging with and supporting women athletes\, both as individual stars and on teams. Men’s sports continues to dominate in terms of media coverage and airtime\, but the momentum for women’s sports is here\, and it’s growing. Women today\, as skilled as they are in their own right\, stand on the shoulders of the giants who built the game\, brought the pain\, stayed the course\, and gave it their all. \nThis collection\, from renowned speaker\, author\, and retired U.S. Army Major General Mari K. Eder highlights all of these women\, covering incredible American athletes from the 1900s to the modern era. \nThe Girls Who Beat the Odds is a showcase of just how far women’s sports has come in the past hundred years—while honoring those who had the courage and fortitude to come first. \nMari K. Eder is a retired U.S. Army Major General\, a renowned speaker and author\, and a thought leader on strategic communication and leadership. General Eder is the former Commanding General of the U.S. Army Reserve Joint and Special Troops Support Command\, former Deputy Chief of the Army Reserve and former Deputy Chief of Public Affairs for the U.S. Army. General Eder is the author of “Leading the Narrative: The Case for Strategic Communication\,” published by the Naval Institute Press. \nPlease regsiter; Zoom links go out the day before the event

SUMMARY:Balancing Memory and History: Inside the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Free virtual presentation \nThis year marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. At the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City\, memorializing and educating about that day and its aftermath remains as resonant as ever. The institution draws millions of visitors each year – from individuals directly impacted by 9/11 to an entire generation with no lived memory of the attacks. Connecting with such diverse audiences requires constant thought about how history is conveyed\, memory is maintained\, and stories are shared. \nJoin us virtually as Noah Rauch\, Senior Vice President\, Education & Public Programs\, provides a behind-the-scenes look at the institution’s development and design\, the inherent complexity of conveying such a challenging history\, and how the stories\, themes\, and legacy of the attacks continue to be shared in this milestone year with audiences from around the world. \nGet free tickets to receive the Zoom link!
