Dear John,

You don't want to miss Women's Event! Join us on Friday, November 1, 2024, at the iconic Ziegfeld Ballroom as we roll out the red carpet in celebration of two dynamic women. 

We're thrilled to announce that Dr. Renee Mclaughlin, National Medical Director at Cigna Healthcare, joins the program as our honoree. As National Medical Director for Value-Based Relationships and Transgender Health, Mclaughlin leads a team focused on the design, implementation, and management of collaborative partnerships with health care providers to improve health outcomes.

ICYMI, Keia Clarke, CEO of the New York Liberty, will also be honored that evening. In her 14th season with the 2024 WNBA Finals contenders (go Libs!), she leads all business aspects of the Liberty organization including oversight of the P&L, business operations, and strategic planning. As one of the few Black women executives in the WNBA, she has and continues to be an ally and champion of the LGBTQ+ community. 

Additionally, we will welcome our new CEO, Dr. Carla Smith, to her first Women's Event! 
 

Bringing her hilarious wit and undeniable charm to the stage, we're excited to welcome comedian, Emmy-nominated actor, and writer, Sydnee Washington. From her sold-out comedic hour, “How To Start A Fire,” to co-hosting “The Unofficial Expert” podcast and winning a WGA Award for her writing contributions to INSIDE AMY SCHUMER, she's sure to keep us in good spirits. 
 

Sydnee Washington, Comedian, Actor, and Writer

Following our awards and dinner be sure to stick around for our legendary Women's Event After Party. This year’s party is stacked with a special performance by duo Nina Sky, and DJ Mary Mac, fresh off of Madonna's The Celebration Tour, spinning all night. Remember to stretch and we’ll see you on the dance floor.
 

To request an accommodation for this event or with any questions, please contact Brian Doyle, Director of Special Events & Corporate Partnerships, at [email protected].

Last but certainly not least, thank you to the dedicated group of philanthropists whose generosity helps make Women's Event possible.
