On Tuesday, March 22nd SHE-CAN Executive Director Barbara Bylenga & SHE-CAN Scholar Jocelyn Mizero were featured on an engaging panel discussion at The Commonwealth Club of California. The panel discussed how the organizations represented are leveraging personal one-on-one connections and resource sharing in an effort to shift the global female leadership paradigm. Speakers from SHE-CAN and WAKE International, the two organizations represented on the panel, spoke about their experience in building female leadership through directly connecting women and girls in developing countries with professional women in the U.S. who help them access higher education, technology resources and—most important—connect them with a global network dedicated to helping them succeed.
