Laura W. Bush, former first lady of the United States, is an advocate for literacy, education and women’s rights. After leaving the White House, President and Mrs. Bush founded the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Texas. Mrs. Bush is the author of the best-selling memoir, Spoken from the Heart, and best-selling children’s book, Our Great Big Backyard. She serves on many boards, including the National Advisory Board for the Salvation Army, the Council for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Board of Trustees for the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the SMU Board of Trustees.

Barbara Pierce Bush is CEO and co-founder of Global Health Corps, which mobilizes a global community of young leaders to build the movement for health equity. Ms. Bush and her co-founders were united by the belief that health is a human right and that their generation must build the world where this is realized. In October 2017, Ms. Bush released Sisters First, a New York Times best-seller written with her twin sister and co-author, Jenna Hager.
