  • “Communicating clearly with our constituents, policy makers and the media about emerging issues that shape the lives and careers of workingwomen, their families and their employers was one of the critical roles of my job at a nonprofit foundation for working women. In a small nonprofit with limited staff, finding the time to do all that has to be done is difficult. Judith became an extended member of our team. Through her efforts, two critical papers and various supporting documents were researched, written and presented to the public.”
