DUBLIN, Calif., Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet, a leading
provider of comprehensive human resources for small and medium-size
businesses (SMBs), today announced the addition of Former First
Lady Michelle Obama to its roster of
thought leaders and influencers at the 2nd annual,
award-winning, TriNet PeopleForce 2021. The four-day conference
will be held in-person from The Times Center in New York City (built by renowned architect
Renzo Piano) and virtually from
anywhere. The event kicks off on September
13 with an impressive roster of distinguished speakers
sharing timely and insightful content vital to business success and
the future of work.
"Mrs. Obama brings an incredible amount of perspective on
leadership, risk taking, business, diversity and public policy that
will be a huge benefit to the entrepreneurs and business leaders in
attendance at TriNet PeopleForce," said TriNet Senior Vice
President, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Communications Officer
Michael Mendenhall. "Add to this
that she is an incredible inspiration for anyone wanting to effect
change and make a meaningful impact on the world. We are excited to
have her insights to wrap up four days of exciting and innovative
content from world-class speakers." Mrs. Obama will participate in
a keynote session at 1:00pm ET on
September 16.
During Mrs. Obama's time as First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017, she
served as a role model for women and children, and worked as an
advocate for poverty awareness, education, nutrition, and military
families. Her memoir, "Becoming," sold more copies than any
other book published in the U.S. in 2018, achieving that status in
just 15 days and instantly rising to the #1 slot on
the New York
Times Best Sellers list, with more than 15 million
copies sold worldwide. She won a Grammy for her audio recording
of the book and also published a young readers edition
in 2021 that was adapted for children ages 10 and up.
In 2018, Mrs. Obama and her husband President Barack Obama founded Higher Ground Productions,
a company focused on telling powerful stories that entertain,
inform and inspire while elevating, a company focused on lifting up
diverse voices in the entertainment industry. The company
introduced a culinary children's series on Netflix--Waffles +
Mochi--while Mrs. Obama also launched Pass the Love with Waffles +
Mochi, a campaign with the Partnership for a Healthier America. In
2020 she released The Michelle Obama Podcast, where she
hosts live conversations with family, friends and colleagues that
explore the relationships in our lives that make us who we are.
Mrs. Obama holds a bachelor's degree in sociology and
African-American studies from Princeton
University and a juris doctor degree from Harvard Law School. Prior to serving as First
Lady, she worked as an attorney, in public service for the city of
Chicago, as a nonprofit executive
director and in leadership for the University
of Chicago.
