99
new
people
who
are
who
are
here
so
welcome.
We
are
very
proud
of
the
space.
It
offers
us
the
opportunity
to
host
our
members,
and
so
we're
pleased
to
have
you
here
today,
in
particular
the
mayor's
in
the
house.
So
thank
you
so
join
me
in
welcoming
the
next
mayor
Walsh.
He
is
a
prince
of
the
chamber
front
of
the
business
community.
I
am
so
pleased
to
be
a
member
of
the
women's
to
work
for
Council
and
to
work
with
you
and
your
team
Mayor
Walsh
on
this
initiative.
B
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
many
talented
people
who
are
the
driving
force
behind
the
council.
So
certainly
you
just
met
one
of
my
idols
Evelyn
Murphy.
She
is
joined
by
Kathy
mini
and
the
co-chair
of
the
council.
We
have
Victoria
butts
and
also
of
the
council
and
I
would
like
to
also
mention.
We've
got
a
talented
man
in
the
room
in
front
of
the
room.
Member
of
the
Council
of
rivers.
Ceo
needs
your
bank
also
a
member
of
the
Chamber's
Executive
Committee.
B
So
at
the
chamber
we
are
proud
to
the
signers
of
the
compact
and
we
believe
that
creating
this
contact,
as
well
as
getting
data,
will
provide
us
with
real
progress
towards
eliminating
eliminating
the
wage
gap.
So
we
will
be
taking
notes
as
all
as
all
you
will
be
about
what
we
need
to
do.
We
make
sure
to
get
our
information
in
on
time
in
a
timely
fashion.
But,
more
importantly,
we
know
the
Chamber's
role
is
much
more
powerful
than
just
submitting
our
own
data.
B
We
know
that
we
can
be
a
strong
voice
in
encouraging
other
businesses
like
yours,
to
also
be
a
part
of
this
compact
for
2016.
We
had
69
companies
that
represents
one
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
individuals
and
11
billion
in
annual
reporting
earnings
completed
the
survey.
Now
we
are
at
I,
think
Mary
Rose
told
me
214
companies
with
a
goal
of
250
50
by
the
end
of
2017.
B
If
we
are
able
to
do
this,
the
survey
data
and
information
we
collect
should
encapsulate
about
25
percent
of
Boston's
workforce,
which
will
give
us
important
data
for
the
future.
So,
as
an
organization
we
are
committed
to
women,
as
Evelyn
said,
we've
been
focused
on
women
and
our
women's
network
and
advancing
the
role
of
women
for
a
number
of
years.
B
We
started
24
years
ago
with
our
Women's
Network
I,
know
I,
don't
look
like
I've
been
here
24
years,
but
I
have
I
was
here
at
the
beginning
and
I
like
to
think
the
Chamber's
had
a
role
through
this
network
and
connecting
women
and
men
to
the
role
of
advancing
women.
So
over
the
past
24
years,
our
women's
network
has
been
focused
on
creating
opportunities
and
a
pipeline
of
talent
for
the
future.
We
have
featured
hundreds
of
women
within
our
women's
network
breakfast.
B
Is
are
you
and
we
also
have
a
year-long
Leadership
Program,
which
is
dedicated
to
developing
the
pipeline
of
women
and,
of
course,
our
proud
moment
is
being
involved
in
pay
equity
legislation.
So
the
chamber
is
committed
to
this
work.
We
are
optimistic
about
the
future.
We
are
proud
partners
to
be
partnering
with
Megan
Costello,
Mayor
Walsh,
and
this
entire
initiative
on
the
women's
compact.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
this
morning
and
I
will
turn
it
back
to
you.
A
Okay,
next
I
want
to
introduce
the
professor
who
is
really
the
intellectual
force
behind.
Why
we're
all
here
at
service
table
Rose?
If
you
have
to
what
we
have
ourselves
right
now
with
this
computer
program
away
English,
we
can
all
work
together,
because
it
is
sure
that
we
look
that
no
one's
data
will
be
compromised
or
give
us
anybody
else.
The
intellectual
force
to
create
this,
because
it
is
unique
because
nobody
else
in
the
country,
no
government,
no,
no
private
sector
interests,
no
nonprofit,
no
senses
kind
of
capacity.
A
D
A
C
And
thank
you
all
the
best
times
are
the
times
one
I
share
technology
and
see
how
it
really
changes
Society.
So
let
me
just
say
a
few
words
about
the
technology
and
about
the
future
of
that
technology
and
opportunities.
This
is
an
old
technology.
It
has
existed
for
30
or
40
years,
except
I
was
sitting
on
the
shelf.
Nobody
was
using
it
and
at
BU
we
actually
made
it
practical.
We
made
it
possible
to
deploy.
This
is
not
about
analyzing
data
or
removing
personal,
identifying
information.
No,
it's
not
about
that.
C
It
is
about
allowing
your
private
data,
your
company
data,
to
be
available
with
other
private
data
like
to
compute
aggregate
analytics
over
all
of
them.
Without
sharing
your
data
usually
stays
in
your
company.
It
never
leaves
it
so.
Every
time
I
hear
the
word,
data
is
collected,
but
it
is
not
collected.
If
it
sits
in
your
company,
we
just
move
the
computation
to
be
done
on
top
of
all
the
private
data
and
all
the
companies.
C
C
We
don't
even
know
who
contributed
the
data,
we
don't
even
know
the
same
data
for
each
company,
so
this
is
really
a
very
powerful
technology,
very
happy
to
have
taken
that
technology
to
practice
this
technology
reboot
allows
us
to
do
computation
or
answer
questions
which
we
were
never
able
to
even
ask
before
so
think
about
it.
There
are
reasons,
for
example,
that
you
cannot
ask
a
question,
because
you
know
it
cannot
be
computed.
C
Let's
take
an
example:
healthcare.
We
want
to
join
data
from
the
US
and
from
India
to
solve
problem
in
medical,
but
the
rules
and
USA
cannot
take
it
out.
This
data
not
leave
the
country,
so
you
say
well,
we
could
never
compute
that
now
we
can.
So
this
is
a
technology
that
allows
us
to
answer.
Questions
like
we
could
even
ask
before
the
Boston
woman
workforce,
Council
I'm,
so
grateful
for
them,
because
they
give
this
technology
a
chance.
C
They
gave
it
the
chance
to
be
shown
to
the
rest
of
the
world
that
it
is
possible
to
do
this.
People
say
theoretically,
it
would
never
be
used,
guess
what
it
is
being
used
if
you
give
it
legitimacy,
that's
very
important
and
I
would
add
that
the
pastor
workforce
council,
the
one
hunt
for
sent
talent
application,
is
the
perfect
application
for
this
technology.
So
let
me
tell
you
that
we
have
benefited
from
this.
We
go
to
NSF
and
now
Academy.
C
Look
this
technology
can
make
a
difference,
is
social,
good
and
guess
what
NSF
comes
back
says
wonderful.
We
got
two
grants
in
the
just
the
last
few
weeks,
I'm
happy
to
either
the
first
time
this
is
made.
Public
NSF
is
funding
the
future
development
of
technology
because
they
see
the
potential
and
really
very
proud
of
that,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
I'm
excited
about
the
potential
all
accessible
potential
and-
and
let
me
just
say
that
you
know
I'm
always
presented
as
the
one
who
did
all
this.
No,
it's
not
me!
C
C
And
obviously,
not
to
say
a
few
words
about
the
plasma
mobile
force
council.
We
are
very
proud
to
have
them
at
BU
if
you
have
any
reason
to
drop
by
please
stop
by
and
visit
them
at
Boston
University
and
stop
by
my
office.
I'll,
be
happy
to
say
hi
as
well,
and
I
want
to
thank
that
the
100%
talent,
the
mayor,
the
council,
Evelynn
that
you
are
yo,
wonderful
and
with
that
I'll.
Thank
you.
A
Engine
TV
we
really
big
craft
and
a
collaboration
is
working
for
anyone.
You
know
coalition.
Oh,
we
had
a
birthday
party
national
birthday
party
put
out
this
one
in
July
and
we
celebrated
on
240
first
birthday,
if
you
recall
the
famous
words
fine,
Thomas
Jefferson,
we
hold
these
truths
to
be
self-evident,
that
all
men
are
created,
equal
didn't,
say:
men
and
women
didn't
say:
men
complete
flames
and
we
spent
the
last
two
hundred
forty-one
years
trying
to
fulfill
and
achieve
this
goal.
A
A
Three
and
a
half
years
ago,
mayor
marty
was
launched
into
the
mayor's
office
and
he
said,
of
course
we
should
be
able
matter
women
in
above
time
and
he
clicked
behind
that
statement.
These
values
that
source
that
has
taken
to
build
a
unique
situation
here
in
Boston,
you
put
Megan
Costello.
He,
his
real
driving
towards
the
office
of
women's
advancement
created,
put
her
in
charge
of
what
is
now
a
a
brilliant
one,
and
maybe
by
the
way
it
is
a
force
to
be
dependable.
A
C
A
Mayor
was
my
kin
in
charge
of
this
program
to
eliminate
the
wage
gap
and
x2
price.
It's
the
seller,
University
workshops
that
help
women
know
and
advance
our
own
family
and,
on
the
other
side,
the
Gosselin's
workforce,
counselors
and
percentile
combine,
which
works
with
employers
to
do
the
same
thing.
You
have
to
have
both
one
or
get
enough
work,
but
the
two
of
them
give
us
the
opportunity
to
eliminate
the
waste
shaft
and
credit
risk
and.
A
So
we
are
right
now
getting
national
attention.
Exposure
for
what
this
mayor
has
done
in
part
because
pronounced
and
in
part,
is
important
sources
behind,
and
then
you
stand
firmly
and
never
wavered
on
giving
us
the
attention
and
support
to
make
this
happen
in
Massachusetts.
So
when
we
begin
to
show
measurable
change
and
progress
on
this
wage
gap,
which
I
truly
believe
will
happen
in
the
next
several
years,
the
credit
is
going
to
go
to
all
of
us
and
specifically
I'm
going
on
there.
Martin
watch.
E
Thank
you
lieutenant
governor,
and
you
gave
me
far
too
much
credit
discounted.
The
appreciation
shouldn't
go
to
me.
It
should
go
to
everyone
who
put
together
the
contact
and
the
work
that's
been
done.
Fee
is
worthy
have
done.
You
know,
Bradley
said
before:
breaking
the
glass
ceiling
being
like
statewide
Senate
government,
all
he
has
done
the
work
happy
man
has
done
Thank,
You
Kathy
as
well
all
the
work
you
have
done
breaking
your
own
ceilings,
those
those
that
study
with
the
credit
fest
and
it
should
you
should
share
it.
E
E
Boston
University,
as
we
spoke,
then
you
bu
stepped
in,
and
that
was
it
wasn't
on
keep
on
at
the
right
time.
Baga
Arcadia
to
the
chamber,
you
know
pushing
generally
you
get
to
put
your
money,
but
generally
jumping
in
at
the
right
time
as
a
measure
of
every
business
wrong.
So
many
other
folks
at
the
right
time.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
football
people
here
today.
All
the
companies
that
you
represent
I'm
happy
to
be
here
to
me
to
talk
about
making
another
each
step
and
close
closing
the
way
chat.
E
It's
been
a
great
progress
of
town
contact.
Since
we
begin
lieutenant
governor
mentions
the
first,
a
nation
effort
to
analyze
the
employers
in
the
our
efforts
now
is
to
make
sure
that
other
cities
and
towns
and
states
around
the
country
to
the
same
thing,
it's
important
for
us
to
close
that
gap
in
Boston,
but
surely
it
has
to
become
in
a
little
bit
becomes
by
getting
other
places
involved.
Other
elected
officials
involve
other
business
as
well
other
communities
involved
because
we
want
to
continue
to
do
that
to
push
forward.
E
As
you
heard
earlier,
we
stopped
the
contract
with
69
companies.
First
report
was
in
January
data
of
around
12,000
employees
across
Greater
Boston,
representing
about
11
billion
dollars
in
earnings.
It's
pretty
incredible
when
you
think
about
a
fee
is
probably
241
years
of
business
is
not
sharing
it
all.
E
So
you
know
in
that
information
was
shared
and
you
already
heard
the
numbers
of
those
new
people
coming
on
and-
and
you
know,
we
call
from
eleven
percent
of
the
workforce-
civil
25
percent
of
the
workforce,
understanding
what
what
the
wages
are
and
what
that
gap
could
potentially
be.
We
have
sponsors
you
heard
Bob
today,
as
mentioned
twice
by
again
3000i
today,
NASA
mutual
pond
has
helped
get
apartment,
investment,
State,
Street,
very
tight
pharmaceuticals,
some
of
our
largest
employers
in
the
state
and
in
the
state
court.
E
Honestly,
in
some
cases
in
the
country
here
in
Boston
that
are
passing.
This
information
on
I
want
to
thank
them
to
leading
the
way
in
closing
the
wage
gap.
Other
other
people
are
taking
notice.
There's
no
question
about
a
fatigue,
load
sharking,
but
we're
tackling
this
wage
gap
in
many
different
ways.
I
know
my
first
conversation,
I
think
from
addressing
the
council
was
talking
about.
E
We
can't
legislate
our
way
out
there,
because
I
was
a
state
representative,
17
years
and
I
think
during
my
time
as
a
legislator,
I
think
we
passed
for
wage
gap
bills
to
close
the
wage
gap
and
nothing
of
it
are
close,
and
every
time
we
have
another
conversation
about.
This
legislation
is
going
to
close
the
wage
gap
and
we
talked
about
again
and
I
think
that
we
can
talk
well.
E
They
used
to
talk
about
at
Connors
on
closing
the
wage
gap
and
the
eternal
closed-ended
now
so
the
board
is
about
anyway,
so
we
have
to
do
it
and
we
have
to
win,
and
so
the
legislation
was
passed
which
is
important
not
just
diminishing
in
a
salary
transparency
of
businesses
by
doing
training
sessions
like
the
one
you're
doing
today.
It's
important
also
the
negotiation
workshops
is
important.
E
E
E
So
you
hear
that
all
the
time,
although
lately
up
in
here
in
a
lot
so
Megan's
working
in
so
it
ever
the
difference
and
you
do
see
a
difference
and
sometimes
it
is
hard
for
the
negotiation
Italian
negotiator
workshops
are
helping,
so
one
thing
I
want
to
make
sure
in
today's.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
here.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
help
train
women
on
that
negotiation
on
salaries.
We
all
have
a
role
to
play
and
change
in
the
culture.
E
The
lieutenant
ever
was
so
very
kind
to
me,
but
this
is
this
is
not
just
my
new
offices.
All
of
us
have
had
an
opportunity
and
we
should
be
working
to
change
this
culture,
we're
doing
it
at
City
Hall,
with
high
more
women
of
leadership
in
in
City
Hall.
In
ever
before.
Just
look
at
the
numbers:
look
at
the
people.
E
Look
at
the
places
and
you'll
see
that
we've
never
had
the
representation
when
more
people
color,
quite
honestly,
as
we
have
today
in
City
Hall
in
the
leadership
positions,
but
we
still
have
more
work
to
do
I'm,
not
satisfied
by
saying.
Well,
we
have
a
woman.
We
did
you
know
ten
years
ago.
That's
not
good
enough
way
to
be
more
women.
They
definitely
to
fits
two
percent
of
our
population
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
we
want
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
women
are
in
high
levels
of
business
on
bullets.
E
We
hear
this
all
the
time.
We
need
to
continue
to
push
that
in
challenge.
People
and
I
will
as
much
as
I
can
every
time
I
have
an
opportunity
to,
but
it's
upon
the
chamber
or
wherever
I
go
and
talk
about
that
all
the
children.
My
talking
points
today,
I
just
sit
at
my
talking
points
and
I'm
talking
today,
our
least
once
or
twice
to
three
oculi.
If
it
were
speeches
I
hear
across
the
city
Boston,
if
women
are
paid
less
than
their
male
counterparts,
it
hurts
families
our
economy
and
cities.
E
E
Barks
identity
is
definitely
a
city
of
opportunity.
There's
no
question
about
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
the
environment
in
which
all
women
can
make
sure
they
succeed.
It's
something
that
we
have
an
opportunity
and
a
chance
here
to
continually
delay
your
work
in
this
room
is
helpful
on
how
to
get
there.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
playing
a
part
in
shifting
the
culture
and
closing
the
wage
gap
and
I
know
that
this
may
be
one
shirt.
The
important
part
of
this
conversation
isn't
what
happened
with
me
and
before
me
in
one
product.
E
Conversation
is
what
happened
after
lunch.
So
we'd
like
to
ask
you
all
to
please:
please
stay
for
the
training
to
understand,
because
that's
how
we
make
a
difference.
So
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
all
in
particular,
want
to
give
Charles
a
three
three
very
special
people.
Ella
Murphy
is
uncontrollable,
John
Cadman
and
done
incredible
job
and
then
columns
on
top.
Thank
you.
D
Thanks
so
much
mayor,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
what
a
great
turnout
that
we
have
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
people
stay
after
lunch
for
the
important
part
of
the
conversation
that
folks
and
every
institution
are
going
to
lead
us
through
and
what
the
actual
trade
data
training
will
be
we're
looking.
We
have
a
couple
other
opportunities.
So
if
you
need
I
know,
I
need
a
couple.
D
Training,
so
there'll
be
some
other
opportunities
in
August
as
well
for
data
training,
but
we
are
looking
to
do
a
data
submission
where
the
other
submission
is
the
right
word
right.
Yes,
sort
of
okay
data
submission
in
September.
So
that's
the
goal
is
for
us
to
understand
this
afternoon.
What
is
the
information
and
how
is
it
put
into
system
so
that
it
is
anonymized?
So
with
that
we
want
to
move
on
to
lunch.
It's
a
little
bit
going
to
be
crowded
in
the
section
where
we're
doing
lunch.
D
So
we're
going
to
ask
folks
to
go
out
through
this
back
door.
The
bathrooms
are
back
there
as
well
and
you're
going
to
move
around.
We
are
going
to
do
a
couple
of
photos
with
the
mayors
of
weary
folks
and
some
of
the
fellows
and
interns
and
I
do
just
before.
We
close
want
to
recognize
the
number
of
people
that
really
make
this
work
possible.
You
know,
obviously
we
have
bu
and
a
vertical
team
we
have
Mary
rose
and
I
leave
to
I.
D
Don't
think
many
of
you
have
met
at
least
yet
she's
brand-new
to
the
council
officially
on
staff.
We
also
have
the
mayor's
office
of
women's
advancement
here
today:
Pat
Nickerson
and
Brenna,
Callahan
and
and
all
the
interns,
so
you
guys
can
all
just
wave
and
serve
they
can
know
whose
of
staffs
behind
us.
That
really
makes
this
all
possible.
Thank
you.
Fellas
lunch
will
be
ready
in
about
two
minutes.
Those
kind
of
want
to
take
about
their
break
go
out
that
back
door
and
then
come
any
faster.
This
way,
women
the
face
of
danger.
