After a recent event where I shared the ups and downs of my career journey with an audience of young professional women, I received the following message, “To see a woman who is also a visible minority as our CFO sharing a story of success made me feel so emotional. You represent everything I hope to become.” The hope embodied in this message underscores the importance of representation and how critical it is for young women to actually see their career aspirations lived out so they, too, can reach for what is possible. But hopes and aspirations need to be met with opportunity. The Rosenzweig Report shows us we still have so much to do in creating equal opportunity for women in our most senior ranks.
