7th Annual Hillary Clinton Year in Review: Installment II February 2015

Early in February, Leo DiCaprio took a break from filming The Revenant to introduce a screening of an Oscar-nominated documentary, Virunga, at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.   Bill and Hillary Clinton were there.

Hillary continued collecting honors and awards. It was announced that she would join Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Martin O'Malley, and Chris Matthews as a member of Irish America Magazine's Hall of Fame.  (At the time, many said "Martin who?")  Emily's List announced that it would present Hillary with their We Are EMILY Award.  Both events were scheduled for March.  The U.N. announced her as a keynote speaker for its March Women's Empowerment event.

Although she was officially a private citizen at the time, visiting dignitaries continued to seek her company.  She met in New York with London Mayor Boris Johnson and with Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni.

Near the end of the month, speaking at a women's conference in Silicon Valley, Hillary started becoming more transparent about mulling over a run for the White House.  She did not say she would, but she did explain how seriously she was considering it.
