From YouTube: Women's Workforce Council Best Practices Conference 2017
Description
The Boston Women's Workforce Council brings together Boston's business community to discuss ways to remove barriers on women in the workplace. It is their 3rd annual Best Practices Conference held at the Colonnade Hotel in the Back Bay.
A
A
You
have
to
put
it
in
the
context
of
the
following.
What
we
mean
by
this
is
there's
no
other
cities
in
the
country
where
it's
a
public-private
partnership,
finish
business,
--is,
aren't
providing
data
and
information
as
well
as
best
practices.
This
kind
of
discussion
we're
having
and
at
the
same
time
there's
a
public
political
leader
and
what
happens
here
and
for
all
of
us
to
understand
this
commitment.
A
It's
about
trust,
there's
no
other
place
in
the
country
in
which
you've
got
that
kind
of
trust
from
the
business
community
that
we
will
deal
with
the
data
and
the
information
and
then
careful
and
in
the
confidential
way,
and
on
the
other
side,
that
our
mayor
trusts,
the
business
community
and
employers
place
of
a
personĂs.
So
this
level
of
trust
is
you
all
know
in
politics
nowadays
this
is
unusual
and
it
really
hit
us
on
our
mayor.
A
Second
point:
there's
an
old
saying
that
you
know
if
you
want
something
done,
ask
a
busy
person,
and
today's
version
of
that
is,
if
you
want
the
impossible
done,
get
away,
they
want
they
possibly
look
to
a
principled
person
and
the
impossible,
as
before
earlier
is
eliminating
this
wage
gap.
You
know
it's
been
around
for
as
long
as
we've
been
in
America
Americans,
so
200
years
we
tried
federal
legislation
and
state
legislation.
A
We
know
all
kinds
of
things,
but
here
we
are
today
committed
to
this
because
of
this
principled
person,
because
this
is
a
man
who
believes
that
women
should
be
treated
equally
and
equitably
and
fairly
in
the
workplace.
That
people
of
color
ought
to
be
treated
equally
and
fairly.
Inevitably
that
immigrants
are
be
protected,
and
he
not
only
believes
this-
he
does
something
about
that
as
we
have
seen
easily.
A
B
And
I
want
to
thank
Kathy
for
their
incredible
work.
I
just
want
to
have
a
sesamum,
oh
well,
Charlie
is,
and
people
leave
that
women.
She
basically
think
about
that
statement.
Just
like
teaching
the
21st
century
like
that.
Yet
give
me
a
believes
that
maybe
it's
not
about
believing
it
should
just
happen.
I
mean
it's
crazy.
That
way
that
we
have
a
conversation,
stone
and
probably
before
I.
Do
that
one
thing:
Kathy
I,
want
to
thank
everyone.
I
want
to
thank
Megan
for
a
great
work.
B
I
want
to
thank
Mary
Rose,
and
one
of
them
change
in
is
absolutely
right.
When
she's
mentioned
it
doesn't
it
does
it
takes
everyone's
participation
to
make
it
happen.
There's
no
question
about
that.
That
is
absolute
100%,
true
I,
don't
think
the
business
leaders,
the
CEO,
the
people
who
are
taking
the
lead
here
and
doing
the
roundtable
discussions.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that.
That's
something
that's
important
here.
B
It's
kind
of
same
all
of
us
to
work
together
and
that
truly
is
a
loss
of
promise.
So
we're
on
the
gentleman
I
look
around
the
room.
A
lot
I
think
that
the
one
thing
I
will
say
about
this
room
is
that
I'm
getting
familiar
with
the
faces
that
here
and
we
haven't
had
to
get
other
faces
in
the
room.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
new
people
in
because
this
conversation
can't
just
be
us,
because
it's
just
us,
we
will
make
gains,
but
we
won't
meet
the
needs
that
we
have
to
make.
B
We
have
to
continue
to
get
people
more
people
on
the
show.
We
also
have
to
diversify
this
room
long.
We
need
to
get
more
people
of
color
in
this
room
as
well.
It's
really
talking
about
how
do
we
make
sure,
because
we
talked
about
jobs,
paying
and
really
focusing
on
jobs
and
large
employers,
but
we
waitress
jobs.
We
have
people
busting
jobs
in
hotels
and
restaurants.
We
had
robbed
that
corner
store
the
community,
centers
and
all
of
those
trucks
as
well.
They
make
an
impact
as
well.
B
B
What's
happened
in
this
world
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks
with
the
devastation
of
natural
disasters
with
the
Hurricanes,
we
obviously
know
what
happened
in
Florida
and
we
know
what
happened
used
to
Texas
and
we
rose
up
and
held
out
there,
and
then
we
have
Cuba.
And
here
at
the
Caribbean
islands
we
have.
A
B
We
created
the
Legacy
Fund,
the
Boston
Massachusetts
live
Legacy
Fund,
which
is
money
with
the
Boston
foundation,
has
been
raising
money
along
with
the
gutsy
legacy
community
coming
together
and
trying
to
raise
a
couple
million
dollars
to
to
spend
that
to
send
out
of
Puerto
Rico
show
you
didn't
get
more
information
on
it,
but
I
love
for
you
as
you
go
back
to
your
employers
get
when
we
tell
them
that
yesterday
were
the
same
as
a
man.
You
also
want
to
make
the
donation.
B
B
Three
three
is
later
almost
really
221
companies
of
violence,
so
it
certainly
has
grown
dissipation
by
the
companies
either
big
percentage
of
the
worth
was.
We
need
to
reporting
wage
data
from
open,
retain
more
women
and
that's
exciting
to
see
that
I
haven't
seen
to
make
sure
we
have
gains
in
in
2015
our
office
with
the
episode
leadership.
Actually,
a
man
Costello
launching
the
free
salary
negotiation
workshops
will
shrink
over
five
thousand
eleven.
B
So
far,
that's
a
big
number,
but
that's
not
will
it
need
to
be
the
number
we
can
be
kicked
off
with
eighty
five
thousand
women
I
notice
against
that
goal
we
have
to
kind
of
put
this
a
little
bit
of
a
steroid
program
and
push
it
push
it
out
to
get
more
people
into
training,
something
that
we
have
to
do.
Studies.
A
B
It's
a
lot
to
be
proud
of
this
new
data
helps
us
see
ways
we
can
be
even
more
effective
moving
forward.
It
shows
that
the
wage
gap
is
still
bigger
for
women
of
color.
That's
why?
When
I
made
that
comment
earlier,
we
need
to
get
movi
wins
earth-tone
in
this
room
for
conversation
to
get
them
in
here
so
think
we
can
help
them
with
understanding
the
importance
of
advocate.
So
that's
something.
B
B
The
world
you
know
it's
actually
really
telling
us
about
it.
We
wish
that
something
here
in
Boston
that
we
need
to
make
sure
and
get
out
there.
Let
people
know
we're
going
in
addition
to
closing
the
wage
gap.
You
also
shouldn't
need
to
see
more
than
leadership,
but
companies
in
Boston
making
progress
all
over
the
place
very
few
weeks
ago,
John
Hancock
enough
Marion
Harrison
did
their
CEO
first
time,
you
tell
me
that's
an
exciting
time
across
people.
B
That's
something
that's
really
exciting,
I'm
not
going
to
take
credit
for
it,
but
I
would
not
be
surprised.
John,
Hancock,
Rossio,
but
I
would
not
be
surprised
if,
in
that
boardroom,
there
was
a
conversation
about
what
was
happening
in
Boston
Massachusetts
about
the
sound
of
negotiation
workshop
above
the
information
dad
share
about
what
was
going
on
above
the
woman
talk
about
all
of
them
with
that
I
guarantee.
All
most
of
that
conversation
happen
in
that
room.
They
say
all
those.
Let's
do
something.
This
conversation
is
going
to
go
on
at
the
quarters.
B
I
guarantee
you
another
board
rooms
around
Boston
in
this
country,
where
they
said
thinking
who's
going
to
move
out
and
how
we're
going
to
do
it.
They
set
the
table.
It's
a
girl
with
the
dual
model,
asleep
again
base
in
history,
impossible,
that's
something
that
we
have
to
continue
to
push
put
forward.
It's
the
first
time,
the
woman
at
the
helm
of
this
icon
across
the
branding
of
accounting
leading
neck
corporation.
We
have
seen
shift
my
no
state
made
major
culture
shift,
I,
don't
say
major
yeah
we're
not
seeing
a
major
culture.
B
What
we're
seeing
a
shift,
because
it's
somewhat,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
see
a
major
culture
share,
I'm
grateful
for
the
possible
woman's
word
for
counsel
and
every
company
that
has
sat
in
the
contact.
I
truly
am
those
companies
are
the
same
companies
that
are
employing
all
the
$0.07,
those
with
same
companies,
a
little
user,
the
first
ones
to
racing
and
probably
help,
and
we
have
220
launch.
So
we
need
to
get
those
numbers
even
higher.
B
To
say
no,
sometimes
we
are
making
history
in
Boston
Massachusetts
and
unfortunately,
you
know
too
many
of
my
speeches
never
have
this
line
and
it's
arcing
about
Washington
what
we
hear
on
Washington
Boston
with
making
history
before
of
this
way
under
the
last
administration
might
say
this
man
I
once
at
President
Obama,
and
he
talked
about
ending
veterans,
homelessness
in
the
city
of
Boston
chronic
illnesses.
We
did
we
talk
about
community
policing
and
the
president
for
the
21st
century,
brought
together
in
that
21st
century
report.
Many
of
the
the
APS
work
across
societies.
B
So
there's
no
difference
now.
The
time
will
really
truly
I
believe
the
pension
and
I
was
just
asked
followed.
Thank
all
of
you
for
making
it
I
know
that
when
you
came
to
this
one
except
you
came
to
the
money
because,
because
I
get
out
of
the
council
of
a
viable
conversation-
and
it
might
not
a
bit-
you
know,
only
excited
to
under
should
come
here
must
say
it
because
I'm
talking
just
about
him,
but
trust
me
because
you're
here,
you're
sitting
in
these
seats,
you're
making
it
in
depth
and
I
want
to.
B
Thank
you
for
that.
In
fact,
I
think
you
feel
great
work.
I
do
want
to
give
another
shout
out
to
make
myself
by
the
way
he's
not
shy
with
me
for
a
great
working
and
the
support
that
these
two,
these
three
actually
isn't
more
than
that
women
I've
helped
many
with
and
taking
this
office,
for
me
permission
to
an
office
that
other
cities
run
America,
safe.
