Screening of Defining Moments: The Life and Leadership of Quiet Revolutionary Frances Hesselbein

Inspiring generations with her battle cry “To Serve Is to Live,” award-winning Defining Moments tells the story of legendary leader Frances Hesselbein who started living her purpose “respect for all people” at just 8 years old. From a tiny coal mining town in the mountains of rural Western Pennsylvania, Frances rose through the Girl Scouts against all odds to fight for equality. Uncompromising in her purpose and genuinely standing in the truth, she paved a path for us to follow, opening doors that had previously been closed. Recognized by President Clinton with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work as a “pioneer for women, volunteerism, diversity, and opportunity,” her influence has grown over the decades to impact millions and millions of people, invigorating and inspiring each and every one of us to reach our highest potential. The story of this remarkable woman is brought to you by executive producer Sarah McArthur.
