Keynote speaker, Valerie Plame Wilson, found herself at the heart of a political firestorm in 2003 when the Bush administration revealed her secret status to a conservative columnist who published her name. At the event she discussed her autobiography, “Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House.” 

Proceeds from the special breakfast benefited Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon, which works to keep Oregon one of the three most pro-choice states in the nation.
