Dell today announced it is providing technology and social media
expertise to support the “Women in Public Service Project,”
organized by the U.S. State Department and the Seven Sisters
Colleges. This innovative initiative and partnership between the
U.S. Department of State and the Seven Sisters Colleges of Barnard
College, Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College
and Wellesley College, aims to propel more women into positions of
public service and political leadership.
As the only technology partner, Dell is providing the
participants of the “Women in Public Service Project” with social
media and technology training as well as industry-leading hardware.
Dell’s participation was announced at a U.S. State Department event
where policymakers and leading thinkers, including Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Former Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright and International Monetary Fund Managing Director
Christine Lagarde, convened to highlight the urgent need for women
in public service to attain positions of leadership.
“We have witnessed the amazing power of technology and social
networking to foster collaboration and creativity, especially for
emerging leaders and entrepreneurs who have ideas that can advance
our communities and impact our world,” said Karen Quintos, senior
vice president and chief marketing officer, Dell, in remarks
announcing Dell’s participation. “It’s a tremendous privilege to
support the Women in Public Service Project, as we continue to
drive Dell initiatives that help people everywhere use technology
to achieve what matters the most to them.”
Following the colloquium, 48 women leaders participating in the
initiative will attend the Emerging Women Leaders in Public Service
Forum, a two-day event during which they will explore issues such
as:
- 21st century skills needed for
successful public servants and strategies to reach 50 percent
participation by women in public service by 2050;
- Mentoring and training needs; and,
- Strategies for sustaining an
international network of leaders and generating new insights on
women's political leadership roles.
