Pat Mitchell “Seeding a Better World” [] i3 Presentation:

Pat Mitchell is a revolutionary force in media and advocacy, breaking new ground throughout her career as a journalist, Emmy-winning producer, and pioneering executive. She has relentlessly elevated women’s stories and ideas, making an indelible mark on the industry. As the co-founder of Connected Women Leaders, she leads a global coalition of leaders dedicated to collective problem-solving, spearheading a women-led climate justice campaign to connect, elevate and amplify women’s leadership as a pivotal accelerator towards a climate safe planet for all.

Mitchell’s influence extends to her transformative role as the editorial director, co-founder, curator, and host of TEDWomen, amplifying powerful, often underrepresented voices and ideas. Her unwavering commitment to social justice is reflected in her service on the boards of the Sundance Institute, The Skoll Foundation, Participant Media, Woodruff Arts Center, the Advisory Council of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum, the International Advisory Board for Internews, and CARE’s global advisory board. As a founding member of the VDAY movement, she tirelessly champions the end of violence against women and girls.

In her memoir, Becoming a Dangerous Woman: Embracing Risk to Change the World, Mitchell shares her bold journey as a frontline advocate for equality and social justice. She defines ‘dangerous’ as the audacity to speak up for the unrepresented, to stand firmly against abuse and injustice, and to show up for others. Pat Mitchell’s life and work are a testament to the transformative power of purpose and passion and at 81, as engaged and active as ever, proof that activism is an antidote to aging; that we never pass the Torch of Leadership but encourage others by example to hold their own, brighter and more boldly than ever.
