You can expect Erin Brockovich will draw a big crowd to the Inspire Luncheon in Santa Clara this November.
The YWCA of Golden Gate/Silicon Valley never fails to line up a compelling speaker for its annual Inspire Luncheon, though some have a bit more name recognition than others. This year seems like it’ll be a popular one, as environmental activist Erin Brockovich will headline the Nov. 2 event at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
The YWCA Inspire Luncheon would regularly draw more than 1,000 people, with speakers including Gloria Steinem, Alfre Woodard, Janet Reno, Geena Davis and Anita Hill. And while numbers dipped a bit after two virtual years, when it came back in person from COVID-19, it would be a good bet that Brockovich draws a strong crowd. The fundraiser is a non-ticketed event, but attendees are expected to make a donation to help support YWCA programs.
