Announcing IFI’s Fall Dinner Keynote Speaker
7/22/24
IFI is excited to announce the details of our annual Fall Dinner, which will take place in just under two months, on September 16th. This year we will be joined by keynote speaker Riley Gaines, who became a prominent conservative figure after speaking out against men competing in women’s sports.
In 2022, Riley was forced to not only compete against a biological male, “Lia” Thomas, who was swimming in UPenn’s women’s team at the NCAA Championship, but she and all her teammates were forced without warning or consent to undress in front of the man and were subjected to discrimination by the NCAA. Riley went on to tie with Lia at the championship and has since been one of the most powerful voices to speak out against the injustice of men competing in women’s sports. You can watch a video about her experience here. She has challenged the rules of the NCAA, USA Swimming, International Olympic Committee (IOC), and other governing bodies.
Riley later founded the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute, where she and her colleagues make real and lasting change in the area of women’s rights. They have worked to legally define ‘woman,’ protect Title IX, and defend women’s rights to single-sex spaces and equal opportunities.
We are honored to have Riley speak at our Fall Dinner this year, and we are highly anticipating her keynote address!
The dinner will begin at 6:00 PM, preceded by a VIP reception at 5:00, at the following location:
IMMI Conference Center
18880 N East St
Westfield, IN 46074
