One of Melissa Gilbert's best known acting roles was that of 'Half-Pint' on Little House On The Prairie, but she has done so much more than that.

On Tuesday, April 28, 2015 Melissa Gilbert will be at the Sioux Falls Convention Center as the keynote speaker for the 2015 SME Women in Business Event.

According to the SME website:

As an avid Philanthropist, Melissa is the President of the Board of Directors for the Children's Hospice and palliative Care Coalition and recently became the first-ever national spokesperson for The Partnership at Drugfree.org. Through her work with the Children's Hospice, Melissa has dedicated her life to ensuring that all chronically and terminally ill children get to live and die with the gentleness, dignity and grace they deserve. As a devoted mother to four sons and having had her own struggles with sobriety, Melissa's work with Drugfee.org allows her to provide parents with help and resources to prevent, intervene in and find treatment for drug and alcohol use by their children.
