2012 Annual Benefit

The 37th Anniversary Benefit

carolegeithner

Keynote Speaker: Carole Geithner

We were honored to have Carole Geithner, author of If Only, as our keynote speaker at this year’s anniversary Benefit. Ms. Geithner was a very eloquent speaker who talked about the loss of her mother at a young age and how this tragic event helped to shape her path to becoming an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at George Washington School of Medicine where she teaches a class in listening skills to medical students. She also works extensively with children who have experienced the death of a parent, and adults whose childhoods were shaped by parent loss. We thoroughly enjoyed Carole as she discussed how this event changed her life.

Master of Ceremonies: David Gregory
