SEARCH BLOG: WOMEN and ABUSE
During our brief visit to California, we had the opportunity to meet with an old high-school friend of my wife. They were both "Air Force brats" [children of people in the Air Force] and both stationed at a now defunct base called Clinton-Sherman AFB.
Amy McCombs is an example of the kind of woman leader for whom I would vote if she were running for an office. She has had a distinguished career as a media executive and as the president of a college. Rather than sit idly during retirement [which I'm sure she could not do], she has taken on the role of the President and CEO of the Women's Foundation of California.
Amy is a driving force. She simply gets things done that others can't. Her focus is the problem, much more than the politics of the problem [although that is inescapable]... which is why I'm sure she will do important things with this organization. While I have written about women and abuse in this blog, Amy has the connections, the competence, and the charisma to do something about the issue. She is a woman of great integrity and intelligence. It was a pleasure to be able to talk with her and learn from her.
I recommend that you go to the WFC site if you have an interest in this area.
