Chelsea Clinton is speaking today at an event at UMKC. The event will celebrate a new hall of fame that will recognize women from the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City says the former first daughter will speak at the school’s Swinney Recreation Center. The event is sold out.

The Starr Women’s Hall of Fame is the work of 24 women’s organization from the area. It bears the name of Martha Jane Phillips Starr, a Kansas City philanthropist who died in 2011. She was one of the first women to become a member of the UMKC Board of Trustees.

The first class won’t be inducted until the fall, but details about the application process, criteria and deadlines will be announced at this today’s event.
