Following a day of speeches from women who are making a difference, yesterday’s Women’s Leadership Forum finished up with a visit from another featured guest: President Obama. In his remarks, the President honed in on the impact of his administration’s policies on women and families – the Affordable Care Act, his appointments to the Supreme Court, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the White House Council on Women and Girls, and access to small business loans, among many others.

First Lady Michelle Obama took the stage at today's Women's Leadership Forum to talk about what we've accomplished together—electing Barack Obama president and bringing about some of the most historic change in generations—and what we must do to continue that progress.

The Women's Leadership Forum National Issues Conference kicked off this morning with several outstanding speakers who came together in Washington to discuss women's issues, their support for Democrats, and work they're doing to make sure President Obama is re-elected.

Throughout the day -- on the blog and through social media -- we’ll be covering two important events: President Obama’s 11:40 a.m. speech on the Middle East and North Africa and the Women’s Leadership Forum.

Throughout the day tomorrow, some of the most influential leaders in politics, government, and women's health are gathering in Washington to discuss the issues and policies that matter most to women. The roster of VIP speakers includes President Obama and the First Lady, Democratic Party Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and senior staff from the Obama administration and the 2012 campaign.
