The buzz: Mom, are we there yet? We’re seeing a ground-swell of policy and practice discussions and activities about the under-representation of women in the boardroom, C-suite and high-growth entrepreneurship.

Dr. Patti Fletcher, SAP SuccessFactors: “The doing is the thing. The talking and worrying and thinking is not the thing” -Amy Poehler.
