Veteran ABC News correspondent and 20/20 co-anchor, Deborah Roberts shares a celebration of sisterhood, featuring more than 50 personal stories by Viola Davis, Jenna Bush Hager, Octavia Spencer, and many more. Beacons of support, understanding, and love, sisters are there for us through it all. But how often do we step back from our busy lives to acknowledge what they truly mean to us? In “Sisters Loved and Treasured,” Roberts curates a collection of conversations, meditations, and anecdotes from her own sisters, celebrity friends and everyday people alike who share deeply personal accounts of how their relationships as sisters shaped their lives.
This event is open to the public, but Forum members will receive special seating and an opportunity to meet Deborah Roberts in the VIP meet-and-greet line.
Doors open at 5:00 p.m.

The Issues Exploration Committee is excited to invite you to our Human Rights Summit Kick-off Meeting, a 90-minute virtual session designed to set the stage for future, in-person sessions focused on Healthcare, Housing, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).
This session will:
Introduce the summit vision and objectives
Feature expert speakers to highlight key focus areas
Include interactive breakout discussions on Healthcare, Housing, and ESG
The Issues Exploration committee is committed to curating experiences to deep dive into Human Rights topics over the next two fiscal years. We will be guided by the principles in the mission statement below:
Human rights are the fundamental freedoms and protections that belong to every individual, and for women, these rights must include equitable access to healthcare, housing, safety, economic opportunity, and reproductive autonomy.
Our work recognizes that feminism, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging and intersectionality are essential lenses through which we examine human rights issues.
We are committed to fostering civil discourse around the regional challenges women face, while honoring the diverse experiences that shape their lives. Through inclusive education and dialogue, we aim to advance understanding and action toward a more just and equitable society for all women.
Your insights and contributions are important for the full summit experience and ensure meaningful impact.
