In the face of the racist and misogynistic policy goals of the current administration, it is refreshing to take a moment and reflect back on the tremendous progress the world has made expanding women’s rights and integration into the economic system. From the 19th Amendment, to the enormous impact of women in the workforce during WWII, business profitability grows with more complete integration of women in every aspect of business. Clear evidence shows that this is even more pronounced as women play a more important role in executive leadership and the board room in the 21st century. No effort to support these initiatives, no matter how small, goes unnoticed or fails to have an impact. Embrace your role as an ally, mentor or sponsor in supporting gender parity, equity, and inclusion.
