International Women's Day Celebration- Women and Leadership: The 30% Solution - Part 3

Linda Tarr-Whelan, Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow, President Clintons ambassador to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, and author of Women Lead The Way: Your Guide to Stepping Up to Leadership and Changing the World delivers the keynote address.

A panel discussion including Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) Provost Dr. Amy Sands; Linda Alepin, Founding Director of the Global Women's Leadership Network (GWLN) of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University; and Christine Grumm, President and CEO of the Women's Funding Network follows.

Tarr-Whelan advocates the "30% Solution," a concept that gained traction at the U.N. Conference on the Status of Women in Beijing in 1995. According to Tarr-Whelan, both businesses and governments do better when they adopt a 30% measure for women in leadership positions. "Often without even thinking about it, we are seeing the world through men's eyes and don't realize a woman's perspective is missing."
