Speakers' Series
The DIVA Foundation established the Speakers’ Series in 2000 with the goal of providing affordable education for women about important women’s health issues. For seven years DIVA hosted a series of presentations that focused on the prevention of illness and disease, healthy lifestyle choices, and alternative approaches to conventional treatment for diseases affecting women.
After a hiatus of a few years and due to popular demand, 2011 sees the return of the Speakers’ Series.
