( CNN ) After a handful events in two months , Hillary Clinton has filled her March with a mix of women 's events , nonprofit speeches and at least one paid appearance . In January and February , Clinton headlined three events -- only one of which was in the United States . But as Clinton moves closer to her expected 2016 presidential campaign announcement , the former secretary or state has at least seven events scheduled for the month of March . Most of Clinton 's events are focused on one thing : women . Clinton starts her month by headlining the 30th anniversary gala for Emily 's List -- a pro-Clinton organization that focused on helping Democratic women win elected office . At the D.C. speech on March 3 , Clinton is expected to give a nod to the group 's importance to Democrats and highlight the reason more women are needed in politics . Emily 's List has been energized by Clinton 's campaign and has pledged to raise and spend more money than any other election cycle because of the prospect of a Clinton White House . The following week , Clinton will headline two New York events tied to her 1995 speech to the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing -- a speech Clinton regularly references in pitches to women . In that speech Clinton said , `` If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference , let it be that human rights are women 's rights and women 's rights are human rights once and for all . '' On March 9 , Clinton teams up with Chelsea , her daughter , and Melinda Gates to release a report through the Clinton Foundation that looks at `` the gaps that still remain '' in women 's participation in the economy and politics . The following day -- on March 10 -- Clinton will headline the United Nation 's Women Empowerment Principles annual gathering in New York . Clinton will use the speech to outline the findings in the Clinton Foundation report and `` reflect on progress made in implementing the agenda set in Beijing two decades ago , '' the organizers said in a release about the event . On March 16 , Clinton will be inducted into the Irish America Hall of Fame at an event in New York . Clinton is not Irish -- her family is of English , Scottish , French , and Welsh descent -- but she is being honored because of `` her dedicated work on Irish Peace Process . '' `` Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the unsung heroes of the success of the Irish peace process , '' said Irish America co-founder Niall O'Dowd . In 1998 , Clinton put together the Vital Voices Conference of women in Belfast , a body that pressed for a piece agreement . The former secretary of state cited her experiences in Ireland during a number of speeches in 2014 . O'Dowd is a longtime Clinton supporter , though , and was a member of her 2008 campaign finance team . Some Republicans have questioned how active Clinton was in the Northern Ireland peace process . The Washington Post Fact Checker wrote in 2008 that Clinton `` seems to be overstating her significance as a catalyst in the Northern Ireland peace process , which was more symbolic than substantive , '' but that she did play `` a helpful role at the margins . '' On March 19 , Clinton will headline her only confirmed paid speech of the month when she heads to Atlantic City for the American Camp Association , NY & NJ Conference . Susie Lupert , the group 's executive director , tells CNN , `` Yes , just like most nonprofits and conferences , she is being paid for her appearance . '' But she would not confirm how much she is being paid . On average , Clinton makes between $ 200,000 and $ 300,000 per speech . Near the end of the month , on March 23 in Washington , D.C. , Clinton will be the keynote speaker at the award celebration for the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting from Syracuse University . Robin Toner , who graduated from Syracuse , was the first woman national political correspondent for the New York Times . Syracuse Dean Lorraine Branham said Clinton is a `` vivid example — like Robin — of a pioneering woman at the top of her profession . '' Clinton headlining an event honoring political journalists is somewhat unique because for decades she has held a dim view of the profession . In a 1996 , according to the diary of the late Clinton confidant Diane Blair , Clinton said the media are `` complete hypocrites . '' At an event in 2014 , Clinton said `` journalism has changed quite a bit in a way that is not good for the country and not good for journalism . '' `` A lot of serious news reporting has become more entertainment driven and more opinion-driven as opposed to factual , '' she said . `` People book onto the shows , political figures , commentators who will be controversial who will be provocative because it 's a good show . You might not learn anything but you might be entertained and I think that 's just become an unfortunate pattern that I wish could be broken . '' Clinton 's presidential campaign has become a forgone conclusion and Democrats close to Clinton expect she will announce some official move towards the presidency in April .
Clinton currently has three speeches in March , with one paid speech and many focused on politics . This comes after Clinton gave only two speeches in March and February . Clinton is expected to make some official move towards the presidency in April , due to Democrats close to her .
