Keynote Speaker for the event was Jo Ann Davidson who has achieved a distinguished record of public service during her career. She was the first woman Speaker of the Ohio House from January 1995 through December 2000. Davidson formed her own consulting firm, JAD and Associates.

Davidson spoke on the history of the Suffrage Movement and the importance of women in effective government.
Hosts for the event were State Senator Bob Peterson, State Representative Mark Johnson, Gibbons for Ohio Campaign, State School Board Member Brendan Shea, and Attorney at Law Mary E. King.
