Jenna Bush Headlines 21st Annual Wisconsin Women in Government Banquet

Jenna Bush gave the keynote address at the 21st Annual Wisconsin Women in Government Banquet on April 10, 2008 at the Monona Terrace in Madison.  An inspirational international child rights advocate, Jenna Bush is raising awareness about children in need and motivating people of all ages to make a difference in the fight against poverty, abuse, and HIV/AIDS.  Through her New York Times best-seller, Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, Bush tells the story of 17-year-old single mother living with HIV. 

Bush, the daughter of President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush, became an inspirational international child rights advocate during her internship with UNICEF in 2006.

Bush's speech was covered in local media:

The Capital Times: Jenna Bush speaks out here for kids with HIV

Wisconsin State Journal: Jenna Bush urges fight against HIV/AIDS

Daily Cardinal: First daughter talks HIV/AIDS education
