Lee Woodruff

New York Times Best-selling, Co-author, In an Instant; Contributor, CBS This Morning and Freelance Writer, Lee Woodruff, will be the Keynote Speaker at the 2015 Annual Conference.

As co-author of the New York Times best-selling In an Instant, Lee Woodruff garnered critical acclaim for the compelling and humorous chronicle of her family’s journey to recovery following her husband Bob’s roadside bomb injury in Iraq. Appearing publicly and on national television since the February 2007 publication of their book, the couple has helped put a face on the serious issue of traumatic brain injury among returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, as well as the millions of Americans who live with this often invisible, but life-changing affliction.

They have founded the Bob Woodruff Foundation to assist post-9/11 injured service members, veterans and their families heal from the physical and silent wounds of war. To date, the non-profit foundation has invested more than $20 million, funding and shaping innovative programs across the country that are helping veterans successfully integrate back into their communities. 

Woodruff is a contributing reporter for CBS This Morning. Her best-selling book Perfectly Imperfect – A Life in Progress, was followed by her first novel Those We Love Most, which became a New York Times Best-Seller and won the Washington Irving Book Award for fiction. A freelance writer, Woodruff has penned numerous articles about her family and parenting and she ran a public relations and marketing consulting business for sixteen years. She lives in Westchester County, New York, with her husband and four children.

Keynote Presentation: An Imperfect Life

In this presentation mirroring her book Perfectly Imperfect, Lee Woodruff shares with audiences her often funny, sometimes poignant and always resilient take on life. In a Nora Ephron meets Erma Bombeck delivery, Woodruff connects audiences with the many commonalities and anecdotes of being a daughter, mother, friend, working woman and caregiver. She also draws on some of the life lessons and experiences she chronicled in her number one best seller "In an Instant," which details her family's journey of recovery after her husband Bob was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq.

With the same witty sense of humor she brings to her reporting on Good Morning America and her down to earth delivery, Woodruff takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of self-deprecating humor and shares some of her wisdom from having traveled on the "grittier pavement in life." One of the most popular aspects of her presentation are the insightful and often surprising tips Woodruff has to offer anyone going through a difficult time or the people surrounding them, from what to say and what not to say to what to do, Woodruff lays it out for the audience in an engaging fashion.
