Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver are hosting the California Governor and First Lady’s Conference on Women, the largest and the most dynamic one-day gathering of women in US.
Some 60 world-renowned speakers and panelists will participate in this year’s conference including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Martha Stewart, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, Tyra Banks, Tim Russert, Maureen Dowd, Anna Quindlen, Suze Orman and Elle Macpherson.
Shriver traveled to India in early August on a personal trip to meet with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and extended a formal invitation to speak at the conference and His Holiness the Dalai Lama has accepted the invitation.
