Ten years ago, the Haverford Speaker Series for Women® began as an idea. More than thirty events and over 3,500 participants later, this idea has evolved into a movement and a mission, illustrating how a small action can have a big impact. As we reflect on the past decade and look towards the next ten years, we are focusing this year’s programming on the Quality connections at the heart of this thriving mission. We’ve invited some of our favorite friends back to speak this year and asked them to bring along a friend of their own. We hope you, too, will introduce a friend to the Series this year. Join us in celebrating and expanding the Quality connections in your network as we learn about small changes we can make in our own lives that can have a lasting impact.

Related News & Insights
The market officially ended the President’s post-election honeymoon as the S&P 500 traded into correction territory on March 13, down 10% from the all-time high in mid-February. The last few weeks have been chaotic, to say the least. Regardless of one’s views on the President’s policies and goals, most Americans wish he would be more consistent with his messaging and follow through. Along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s talking points, the markets are hearing ‘pull back’.
The S&P 500 closed Friday down for the week, but remains just 3% off its all-time high set only nine days prior. However, it may feel worse. Keeping pace of headlines during the past month has been difficult and discerning the news from the noise even more so. The news cycle and markets are moving so quickly, it’s like listening to an audio book set at 2x read-back speed; as hard as you try to follow the narrator, it’s just too fast to keep up.
It has been 21 days since the inauguration and 1 day since the Eagles won Super Bowl LIX, yet it feels like months of news headlines have occurred. On one hand, as Disruptor in Chief, President Trump has ushered in a period of unprecedented policy uncertainty. On the other hand, his mission is certain and his motives and methods are clear.
