Women’s Voices in the 21st Century

Congresswomen hosted bipartisan panel to discuss how to pave the way for a new generation of women.

WASHINGTON – At a time when polarization is leading many of the headlines in Washington, it is more important than ever to discuss how women’s voices can alter the tone of a conversation. How do we make sure that a variety of women’s viewpoints are represented in policy decisions? How can we work together to make our voices stronger?

In an effort to explore these questions and much more, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20) and Jo Ann Emerson (MO-8) joined with GlobalWIN to host a very special bipartisan panel of women in policy, media, and business to discuss what it is like to be a woman in the 21st century.

Featured panelists include, former Rep. Susan Molinari, the Vice President of Public Policy at Google; Hilary Rosen, the Managing Director of SKDKnickerbocker; Karen Tumulty, the National Political Correspondent for the Washington Post; Lani Hay, the President and CEO of Lanmark Technology; DeDe Lea, the Executive Vice President of Global Government Relations for Viacom; and Trish Turner, a producer for CNN’s AC360.

GlobalWIN is a nonprofit that provides a forum for women executives and thought leaders in academia, government, and business who work in innovation-driven fields such as technology, telecommunications, science, and aerospace to come together. They are dedicated to helping more women pursue and succeed in these fields. For more information, check out www.globalwin.org.
