Leadership Tuesdays -- Developing Women Leaders

According to "Women In America, Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being", a report released by the White House Council on Women and Girls, women are 61%1 of the United States' labor force.  Yet, women represent only 15 or 3%2 of the Fortune 500 CEOs, 15%3 of the executive management positions in the Fortune 500 companies and 88 seats or 16.4%4 of 112th Congress of the United States.  Further, although women are attaining more education and advanced degrees, the male-female pay gap is still signficant and 'persists at all levels of education for full-time workers'.

 

The goal of Leadership Tuesdays is to provide a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage, and strengthen women leaders. Dr. Myles Munroe put it best in his book, Becoming A Leader (2009),  "...there is a leader in everyone waiting to serve his or her generation."  Women, get ready... get set...let's lead!!
