Achieving Gender Parity: Would Things Change?

LCWINS and the Athena Leadership Project are excited to invited you to our first joint discussion: “Achieving Gender Parity in National Security Leadership: Would Things Change?”

This virtual conversation will take place on Thursday, March 25, at 2:00pm EDT/11:00am PDT. During this discussion, we will explore what could happen if women held many, or even most, major national security leadership positions in the U.S. government. Would anything change - and if so, what? Would different issues, policies, partnerships, or priorities emerge? Would decisions be different or be made differently? Or would things remain the same - with different voices and faces?
