On November 9, 2010 First Lady of Arkansas Ginger Beebe spoke to AAUW members and guests about women and girls in Arkansas. She highlighted the Girls of Promise program sponsored by the Women's Foundation of Arkansas. This program is much needed in the state because it encourages 8th grade girls to pursue careers in science, technology, and mathematics. Ginger Beebe also spoke about Flat Stanley and the child literacy programs she supports as well as the critical need to fight against childhood obesity to improve the lives of all of Arkansas families.
In honor of her service as First Lady of Arkansas, member Lindsley Smith represented the city of Fayetteville in naming November 9 "Ginger Beebe Day."
Several local news stations covered the event. Check out KFSM Channel 5's coverage
