Mom. You are also an economist. Is there an actual economic benefit to inspiring girls to reach higher . Absolutely. I fall into the camp that the single greatest underutilized resource we have as a nation is women and girls. 50 of the talent tool pool, the brains, the innovation and creativity, that is underrepresented across the board and it is its not a womans issue to help get women and girls into science and technology and business and go. Its a societal issue. If we could figure out a way to totally empower half of the brains in america, imagine how much better and more productive we would be .

I think part of what we have been talking about as a team is how do we ensure that those internship programs that exist is folded into the work were already doing, so we have departments that created their own so we have been working more closely with people and project
