The Clinton Community Library is proud to present "Conversations", a brand new guest speaker series featuring a variety of notable public figures and engaging global voices. For the inaugural event, we're speaking with Opal Vadhan, who served as Senior Advisor to former Vice President Kamala Harris and prior to that as Executive Assistant and Trip Director to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Event Details
- Thursday, October 1
- 5:30 - 7:00 PM
- Upstate Films Starr Cinema

During a 1-hour conversation titled “Women, Community and the American Dream” Vadhan will share the stories of five women, their communities and the enduring promise of the American dream. She will reflect on intimate stories from her time supporting the former Vice President and former Secretary of State, the support of her personal and professional relationships, and the lasting lessons she’s learned from working alongside the only two women ever nominated for President by a major political party.

This is a complimentary event but space is limited. RSVP at clintoncommunitylibrary.org to reserve your spot.

The conversation will then be followed with a 30-minute Q&A. This event is sponsored by Mirbeau Inn & Spa and Upstate Films, and presented in partnership with Morton Memorial Library, Starr Library, and Tivoli Free Library.
