Although First Ladies are not elected officials, their influence, convening authority, high visibility, and ‘soft power’ provide them with a unique platform. They use their voices to support issues they care about. The evolving role and influence of First Ladies is a fascinating topic, yet much of their duties remain mysterious to the public. The America’s First Ladies Luncheon seeks to enlighten and educate diverse audiences about this multi-faceted role of First Ladies. Mrs. Carter will be joined on stage by Steve Ford.
