Let’s Fast Track for Gender Equity and Justice in the U.S. and Globally

We will engage in an ambitious conversation on what a policy agenda could look like over the next four years and what opportunities exist to exceed equity and justice expectations domestically. We invited three former leaders from past White House women and girls initiatives to share insights from their past administrations’ experiences to join us as we set a course for the future.This discussion will be moderated by Anne Mosle, vice president of the Aspen Institute, co-chair of the Aspen Forum on Women and Girls, and executive director of Ascend at the Aspen Institute. Lead Discussants: Kalisha Dessources Figures, former policy advisor to the White House Council on Women and Girls for the Obama administration, doctoral candidate at Yale University, and co-author of “Yes She Can.” Betsy Myers, author of “Take the Lead,” founding director of the Center for Women and Business at Bentley University, and former director of the White House Office for Women’s Initiatives and Outreach for the Clinton administration. Lisa Ross, U.S. chief operating officer at Edelman and former deputy director of the bipartisan Federal Glass Ceiling Commission and the White House Office for Women’s Initiatives and Outreach for the Clinton administration.
