I was raised by a single mother in the south in the 1950's and 60's.  One of her greatest gifts to me was to encourage me to listen to and not be intimidated by women who were as smart or smart as I was.

Today, I support, encourage, and celebrate women as they take their rightful place alongside men as we address the complex challenges facing our planet and the emerging global economy and society.  We are truly, all in this together.

I'd be honored to join the community of Women on the Verge.
