This felt familiar because it is something that I try to do each day of my life. It is my hope that as you leave Wells and begin a new period in your lives that I might inspire you to join us in this most important task. I'd like to inspire you to join us in public leadership because I truly believe that women leaders have much to contribute to the success of our communities and country in the new millennium. The truth is using all of who we are to better the world is women's work and always has been. Please know that as I issue this inspiration that I do it with full understanding of all you must face in the near future.
Women continue to juggle so many responsibilities in the home, workplace, and community.
It is difficult to think about adding one more task to the things to do list. The thought of filtering in the work of public leadership may seem overwhelming at this time. Given this, I want to provide some tips to support you during this journey. When I look at women who have woven public leadership into their daily routines they have a few things in common. For example, they clearly understand the connection between who they are, how they serve, and healthy communities.
