"Geena Takes Aim: Empowering our Daughters and Ourselves"

Using her skills as an archer - she ranked 13th in the U.S. in 2001 - as a metaphor for achievement in life, Geena Davis shares her risk-taking, entrepreneurial spirit that has led her to the pinnacles of success as an actor and producer as well as a gifted athlete. She inspires audiences with her message of overcoming obstacles to success in athletes, in the arts and in life itself.

"Madam President: Making Dreams Reality"

Playing U.S. President Mackenzie Allen in the critically acclaimed ABC series Commander in Chief was more than a television role for Geena Davis, one of the world's best-known actors. An Academy Award-winner, film producer, accomplished athlete and role model, she truly believes that, with determination and focus, women can achieve virtually anything they set out to accomplish. She empowers audiences with her moving personal stories of how she broke into acting and her success at the highest levels in the traditionally male-dominated fields of Olympic archery and film production.

"A Conversation with Geena Davis"

A model and sales clerk before getting her first film role in Tootsie in 1982, Davis shares her engaging personal story, taking audiences through her early years including highlights of her "Best Actress"- nominated role in Thelma and Louise, to her success as an archer in the 2000 Olympic trials and her concurrent roles as actor, athlete, producer, role model and women's advocate. Serving up personal anecdotes from her fascinating life and career, Davis will enlighten and inform audiences in a Q & A session following her remarks.

"Gender Equality in the Modern Media"

Geena Davis motivates audiences with her passionate message of why gender equity is empowering for both men and women, and why it is essential for the future of the U.S. to foster strength of character and resolve in children of both genders. She encourages audiences to stand up for Title IX legislation that has helped women athletes achieve parity with men, urging them to dream big, set goals and be the best they can be.

Speaker Information

Academy Award-winner Geena Davis is one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors. She recently received a Golden Globe award for her portrayal as the first female President in television's COMMANDER IN CHIEF; Davis is a member of the genius society Mensa, and is also a trustee of the Women's Sports Foundation. Davis champions Title IX and girls' participation in sports through her own website, GeenaTakesAim.com. Davis was one of only 32 women to qualify to compete in the 2000 Olympic Trials for archery. She attained the rank of 13th in the nation the following year. Davis is also the founder of SEE JANE, a gender-equality initiative to dramatically increase the percentage of female characters — and to reduce gender stereotyping — in media made for children 11 and under. Research, education, activism and collaboration are the project's hallmarks. SEE JANE works hand-in-hand with parents and professionals to improve children's earliest media exposure from the inside out.
