Gala 2011

At the Women for Women International 2011 Awards Gala President Bill Clinton received the 2011 "Champion of Peace Award." Women for Women International's founder Zainab Salbi said, "President Clinton's support of women and girls through Clinton Global Initiative has single-handedly shifted the discussion from a marginal to a central discussion essential to world stability and success. His personal passion and commitment on the issue has touched many hearts and led to much action and his dedication to bringing real change has led to solid impact on women's wellbeing through corporations and NGOs action."

Also feautured during the event were Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who sits on the board of WfWI and is an advocate for investing in women, and ABC News anchor Katie Couric. Enjoy photos from the evening at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan featuring WfWI friends and supporters.
