Former first Lady Cylvia Hayes will take the stage at TEDx event in her adopted hometown next month, she announced on her LinkedIn page.

Here's how she describes her talk.

Preparing for the event, which was first reported by the Eugene Register-Guard, may provide a respite from Hayes' ongoing issues with the Oregon Government Ethics Commission.

The OGEC last month voted to make preliminary findings that Hayes committed 22 violations of state ethics laws and expressed a desire to impose fines of up to $5,000 per violation.
