Our FY18 SWE-SD section officers attended the USPS unveiling of this year's Forever stamp featuring Sally Ride (released yesterday)! We were inspired by a panel discussion on Women in Leadership: with Billie Jean King, Ellen Ochoa, Condoleezza Rice, and moderated by Lynn Sherr. These close friends of Sally, each shared fascinating personal stories and advice about what it means to be a trailblazing woman leader in their fields, and how women can help lead our nation to a better future.
