Announcing the 2012 Summit Honorary Keynote: a conversation with Pamela Barnes & Pamela Angwech

by Jill Shah on January 31, 2012

The honorary keynote of this year’s Summit is titled Lives For Health and Hope. The conversation will celebrate the critical work and mentorship of two extraordinary women fighting for the rights, health, and dignity of women in some of the most vulnerable places in the world.  

Pamela Barnes is the President and Chief Executive Officer of EngenderHealth and has more than 30 years of organizational leadership and global health experience in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. Most recently, she served as President and CEO of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, overseeing successful programs across 18 countries in Africa and Asia with more than 1,000 employees.  

Pamela Angwech is a co-founder and executive director for Gulu Women’s Economic Development and Globalization (GWED-G), a health and women’s empowerment organization based in Northern Uganda. Pamela has over 15 years of experience in community-based human rights policy and mobilization, gender-based violence, reproductive rights, peace building, and post-conflict development.

On April 13, we will have the extraordinary opportunity to bring them face-to-face to share their stories of vision, resilience and impact. We look forward to honoring these two dynamic women who are transforming the health of millions of women living in poverty around the world.
