Keynote Speaker: Human Rights Advocate, Philanthropic Adviser, Author

Kathy LeMay Biography

Kathy LeMay is a dedicated advocate for global social change, beginning her activism at the age of 14 with an anti-apartheid campaign in her Massachusetts hometown. Her early engagement in human rights campaigns garnered significant press coverage, reflecting her mother's belief in her potential to make a lasting impact.

Throughout her career, LeMay has traveled extensively, both in the United States and internationally, to support individuals affected by war, genocide, gender-based violence, and climate disasters. She has successfully raised $175 million to aid these causes and has led international women's human-rights organizations. Her role as a philanthropic adviser to globally recognized philanthropists has been coupled with her authorship of "The Generosity Plan," which emphasizes sharing time, treasure, and talent to shape the world.

Currently, after thirty years in philanthropy, LeMay is focusing on capturing personal stories through photojournalism. She plans to host her first exhibit in 2020, marking a return to more direct, personal engagements in social change. Her talks, such as "The Space Between Philanthropy & Humility" and "Voice, Activism & Money: Women Creating the World We Know Is Possible," continue to inspire and mobilize audiences by emphasizing the importance of humility, personal significance, and the impactful role of women in philanthropy and social change.
