Updated speaker and program
Ketz’s presentation is the updated program for the Nov. 10 session. Philip Bean’s previously announced presentation on Roscoe Conkling has been rescheduled, according to the updated MVILR flyer. The announcement does not give a new date for Bean’s talk.
The title of Ketz’s presentation focuses on citizens whose routes to success took an unconventional course. The updated announcement identifies Ketz as an award-winning educator, a YWCA Salute awardee, a Women of Distinction honoree and a B Sharp publicist.
