    QUOTE OF THE WEEK
    “It's much easier to go in the direction you want if you make a thousand small changes along the way, rather than letting the boat go in a completely different direction and needing one big maneuver to get back on track.”                                                                                                  -- Fidji Simo, Facebook's VP of Product

    TAKE THE LEAD DAY
    NOVEMBER 14, 2017

    Do you remember where you were last November? What you were feeling? Imagine coming together with women everywhere and channeling all of our energy into one day of global action for women's leadership.

    This is Take The Lead Day 2017.
    On November 14th, 2017 champions of women from across the world will come together for
    a global day of action focused on one goal: leadership parity by 2025.

    As our friend and partner in parity, Gloria Steinem, has boldly said, "The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day. A movement is only people moving."

    We are that movement.     We are Powerful because we are unified by a common goal to achieve gender leadership parity by 2025 - 70 years ahead of the trajectory. We are Powerful because we stand together in action every day for our daughters, our sisters, our mothers, our friends and ourselves.
