Renowned journalist Lesley Stahl will headline this year's Travelers Championship Women's Day breakfast.
The event will take place on Thursday, June 20 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell. All proceeds will benefit tournament charities.
“The Women’s Day Breakfast is an event we all look forward to, and with Lesley as our headliner, this year’s program promises to be exceptional,” Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube said.
Stahl is one of the country's most honored and experienced broadcast journalists. She joined CBS News in 1971 and was the first woman at the network to serve as White House correspondent and host of "Face the Nation."
