This morning as I was rushing out the house, I caught 10 minutes of President Obama’s speech at the University of Cairo. As the sixth point in his address, the President talked about the importance and benefits of investing in women and girls.
Our president has already shown himself to be a domestic champion of women’s issues by creating the White House Council on Women and Girls.
Now, he continues to trumpet the significance of supporting women and girls by making it one of his key platforms in international discussions.
Here at The Women’s Foundation, I think that officially makes the President “A Guy Who Gets It”. Maybe he’d be interested in a t-shirt like the one Rick Ballard wore proudly on stage at last year’s Leadership Luncheon.
Lena Peterson is the Office Assistant at The Women’s Foundation.
