"This morning's conference was great! It was a wide range of participants on the panels and that was a great way to hear a wide view of options and ideas from the panelists! Kevin Hancock gets my vote for most open, honest and helpful answers to questions. He was outstanding and his thoughts today were very heartfelt and honest. Take away the layers of "facade" and discuss the truth of what it's like and how you face the issuers."

Ms. Liswood is the Secretary General of the Council, which is composed of women heads of state and government. The work of the Council expands the understanding of leadership, establishes a network of resources for high-level women leaders, and provides a forum for the group to contribute input and shape the international issues important to women and society.
