Girls Inc. is a fabulous organization

I was recently at their annual awards luncheon.  I love this group.  Girls Inc. is teaching young women to be Strong, Smart and Bold. The young scholars introduced the honorees.  I had an opportunity to talk with both groups.

I asked the scholars, how can we get girls to be more confident?  The gist of what they said to me was that girls need to get involved in activities, not to watch too much tv, and not to judge themselves by what others think of them.

Some of the honorees: Gail Boudreaux, President of UnitedHealthcare, Kim Sharan, CMO Ameriprise Financial, and Kathy Waller, Controller, The Coca-Cola Company talked to me about the importance of mentoring--women supporting other women and the need for honest feedback from people you trust.

What a wonderful event. Joyce Roche has given wonderful service to Girls, Inc. This will be her last year. She has led with conviction and enthusiasm.  Thank you Joyce.
