Lamboy is the co-founder of the Stanford Diversity in Leadership Initiative, the founder of the American Parliamentary Debate Association's Gender Empowerment Initiative, and served for five years as the graduate mentor for Stanford Program in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, where she also taught courses in Greek and residential life.

We are so honored and excited to announce one of our keynote speakers for the summit, Danica Roem!

Danica Roem is the delegate for the 13th District of Virginia. Danica made history in 2017 as the first elected openly transgender state-level elected official in the nation. Since her election, she has driven a message and agenda of inclusion and progress for all Virginians. She believes that no matter what you look like, where you come from, how you worship if you do, or who you love, you are welcomed, celebrated, and protected here because of who you are, not because of who discriminatory people say you should be.
