We have contracts with the federal government, major corporations, and national non-profits. It is because of significant women in my life-not only my mother, but the National Association of Women Business Owners, a colleague of mine who's going to speak today, Kathleen Diamond, and other women across this country that make myself and my business a success. Keep up the good work. I'm here to tell you that meritocracy is alive and well in corporate America. Never before have women achieved so much on their own merit.
Corporations are desperate for talent.
They're implementing new perks to attract and recruit women every day. Let's face it. Day care is not targeted toward men. And, frankly, neither is telecommuting, although men may benefit from that. The advent of online MBA programs from such renowned schools as Duke University is an attempt to recruit and retain busy mothers who want to grow into management roles while still caring for their kids.
