Lori Blaker President/CEO of TTi Global Speaks before the National Council of Women of the US Conference
Rochester Hills, MI (PRWEB) April 02, 2014 -- This year’s conference celebrated the Council's 125-year history. Joining the conference were emerging and established leaders in business, technology, social media, journalism, economics, banking, finance, education, health, philanthropy, law, politics, academics, activists, students and industries in general. The event looked back at the 19th century and ahead into the 21st century, recognizing that, though much may have been accomplished, there is still much to do!
Mary Singletary, President of the National Council of the US, was featured during the “Giving Back to Support Women” session. Lori Blaker joined this panel to discuss her role with Women of Tomorrow and the power of mentoring. Other panelists included: Dr. Jacqueline Plumez, psychologist and writer; Marianne Virgilio, University of Rochester Trusts and Estates.
Blaker spoke on the power of mentoring. She discussed how it can work to effect change both on the individual level and within an organization, “You can’t ignore the power of a group, who are working to generate support in the business community. Just providing exposure to women and women’s issues to many of these individuals is eye opening for them. They hear stories of inequality from around the world, but to actually talk to somebody who has been there, seen it, is a powerful means to help generate support to our efforts.”
The National Council addresses the diverse concerns of women in pursuit of social, economic and political equality while serving as a united voice and forum to promote progressive ideas and influence policy decisions that affect human rights. Founded by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1888, the Council continues to address contemporary issues related to its original goals.
