Volunteer work becomes a kind of college course. Then we can be pipelines in organizations. I think I learned best from my college years, my experiences in student government. Doing town hall meetings. Mediating, learning to bring together groups of people who disagree.
Most women involved in charity work develop leadership skills.
We want to be mentors to other women, to raise more opportunities for women. Twenty-five years ago, there were not that many women at executive levels as there are now. We want to help those coming along. Women need to experience the joy of leadership. It is empowering to see women believe in themselves, to have confidence, and to avoid the pitfalls.
