MILWAUKEE — Joanne Lipman, best-selling author and former USA Today editor-in-chief, will deliver a keynote address titled “After #MeToo: What’s Next” at Marquette University’s Alumni Memorial Union, Monaghan Ballroom, 3rd floor on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 3:30 p.m. She will also sign copies of her best-selling book, That’s What She Said: What Men Need to Know (and Women Need to Tell Them) About Working Together.

One of the nation’s leading journalists, Lipman most recently was chief content officer of Gannett, and editor-in-chief of USA Today and the USA Today Network, comprising the flagship title and 109 other news organizations including the Detroit Free Press, the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Arizona Republic.
