Ohio: ROX's Dr. Lisa Hinkelman Featured as Keynote Speaker at The Women's Fund of Central Ohio's Annual Keyholder Event

In April 2026, ROX Founder and CEO Dr. Lisa Hinkelman was featured as a keynote speaker at The Women's Fund of Central Ohio's annual Keyholder Event in a special, full-circle moment for ROX.

It was in 2006 that The Women's Fund of Central Ohio awarded Dr. Hinkelman a $10,000 grant to jumpstart The ROX Program for Girls. Now, 20 years later, with ROX programs in 600+ schools nationwide, Dr. Hinkelman shared her inspiring story to a room filled with community change-makers.

Dr. Hinkelman was joined by fellow keynote speakers Judge Laurel Beatty Blunt, Claire Coder and Michael Corey, with each sharing key insights and lessons inspired by the evening's theme of unlocking our collective power. One favorite quote from the evening: "If we follow our curiosity, it can lead us to purpose." - Dr. Lisa Hinkelman
