Happy Women's Equality Day!

Happy Women's Equality day!

This day, formerly known as Woman Suffrage Day, marks the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (1920), granting women the right to vote. Hard to believe we've had that equal right for less than 100 years. Now, if we could just share the leadership of our country, our institutions, our organizations and corporations equally...

How appropriate that we follow this important day with the 1st ever Polish Your Star Executive Leadership event - encouraging women to embrace their equal share. It's almost here...less than 24 hours. The program has evolved from it's original inception as a parallel program (Leaders & Emerging Leaders separated) to a fully integrated program. I can't wait to see its evolution next year! (And there will be a next year!)

I'm very excited to meet each of the women I've been learning about. To hand her a Leaders' Books hot off the presses tomorrow. To see her appreciation of , learning and connecting with each woman there. To watch the connections being made and the start of a network like she never thought possible.

I've been gratified and honored to work with the women who've helped make this 1st ever event a reality: Sponsors Jennifer Hauschildt at Thomson Reuters & Tina Decker at Best Buy and our Facilitators Betty Albitz of Integrated Inc., Karen DeYoung of DeYoung Consulting Services, Gwen Gierke of Emerging Leaders Association, intern & advisory board member Elise Peterson and Rita Webster of WiseLeader. And our friends Sandy Johnson at Presentation Wiz (event designs) and webhosts Webblake, president Tami Coalwell (online registration.) Thanks too to Paul Hinderger, Catering Director, at the Womans Club of Minneapolis.

Let's make history again!
