We had our first Salon Wednesday, in partnership between The Future She Deserves and Women@TheTable, and it was fabulous!
Full house. 60 people for lunch at the US Mission. Ambassadors from New Zealand, Chile, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Belgium, Denmark, the EU, and DCMs from Canada, Spain, Tanzania, The Netherlands, Sweden. Directors from ICRC, UNOG, UNHCR, UNECE, WFF, GCERF, IPU and others. And of course wonderful civil society was present with Florence Tercier from The Oak Foundation, Elisabeth Decrey Warner of Geneva Call, Antonella Vischer from Womanity…… all sitting at tables named after our brilliant Nobel Prize winners: Jody Williams, Shirin Ebadi, Rigoberta Tum, Aung San Suu Kyi, Malala Yousafzai, and Gbowee-Karman-Sirleaf, as we drilled down to questions of Women & Leadership.
Here was the note that went out about the Salon ---
