Special Event
The theme for IWD 2025 is Accelerate Action and our keynote speaker epitomizes what that means. Jill Valentine’s mission is to empower, educate and inspire individuals to lead deeply meaningful lives. She is co-founder of UGO Impact, through which she leads groups to volunteer and enhance lives through service and travel abroad. Her key initiatives—like the Seeds of Change in Tanzania and the Give and Grow Community—aim to foster self-discovery and a deeper appreciation for humanity, encouraging a more just and caring world. Not only has she led groups and summited Mount Kilimanjaro four times but she will also be sharing what she has learned through her humanitarian projects and how we can all live a meaningful life. Tickets for this event would make an ideal gift for the holidays or even for Valentine's Day. Given Jill’s message it could also make a wonderful mother-daughter event!
