Experimentation candidly happening at the local level across the country. So, you know, we have m. I. T. Media lab working with the Boston Public School district on all sorts of Different Technology programs that theyre doing, longitudinal tracking study of, whether its working with certain clusters of schools to have everything be moved to tablets and then kids having the right to take those tablets home and those being kind of wifi accessible and so they can also learn, explore on their own while still doing their home work to iowa, building kind of networks of teachers who are really interested in helping to ensure that girls engage in the sciences and stay engaged in the sciences. Kind of aggregating together middle school and High School Teachers to support the same girls as they transition from middle school to high school who have shown and expressed interest and kind of aptitude in the maths and sciences. So, we have so much innovation happening. Some which is built around technology and some around pedagogy pedagogy, but i think in a decade and hopefully even sooner were going to know a lot more than we do now and hopefully those of us as citizens can put positive pressure on our local School Districts because this really is something thats denominated and determined at the local level, not the national level. To hopefully take the best out of what were learning from across the country. But i just dont think we know enough yet. But theres some really amazing and very different programs looking to solve these exact questions. Oh, gosh. I think we have time for one more question. Maam, over there in the white. Yes, maam. Thank you for the opportunity to ask my final question. My name is lillian ajai, i am the founder and executive director of global connection for women. Its abbreviated gc4w. I want to say the organization is three years old and we just won best 2015 best Charity Organization manhattan which is a big deal because three years ago when we started i was very unsure. Its a social enterprise. Our mission is to connect, educate and empower women and youth and weve had the opportunity to work with the Clinton Foundation on a few projects. My question is now that were kind of becoming more popular, right, theres a lot of organizations both here in the u. S. And abroad thats wanting to partner with us, right . So, were at a different growth level. Not that weve hit all of our goals in terms of what we want to achieve as an organization, but we do want to be able to help other organizations especially younger ones. So, my question to you two is when do you choose . How do you make a decision on who do you want to partner with next, right . Because you dont have enough bandwidth to help everybody. And i recently did an interview on television in nigeria and i have 200 emails that i have to respond to on a daily basis because people want to partner with us and i feel bad that i dont have enough staff to help everyone. So, when do you know when to partner and how do you make that selection . Rachel, alexa, kia. This is the continuous question that i think you will have, you know, forever. You know, i think im right in the midst of this this past year has been incredible for us, weve seen incredible growth, we went from a californiabased program to a program thats redistributed almost 5 million of medicine enough for 80,000 people. Thats awesome, but i spend pretty much all of my time trying to grow that business. And i think to some extent you have to really this is where it gets difficult. You have to learn when to trim and to really maintain focus. We get inquiries from other countries who want to use our software and weve had to make some Strategic Decisions and say, hey, we dont were a fiveperson team. We dont have the bandwidth right now to work in europe or work in south america. Thats just not where were at. I think you can carve out some time in your own personal schedule to, you know, really carve out maybe a couple hours a week or setting up a time, a dedicated time, for you to work on kind of these out of the box ideas and the partnerships which maybe will go nowhere but maybe could be fantastic. I think as a social enterprise, i totally feel you. The challenge is always youre up against, well, my funder wants me to do these metrics, a, b, and c but we have all the other potential crazy opportunities that could be amazing for the business. I think the best that you could do is really carve out and be intentional about how much time and resources youre going to put into that, but i dont think you can ignore them, but you also cannot lose sight of it seems like youre at a great opportunity for growth right now, you cant lose sight of kind of your core mission and know cuss. Because the businesses that oftentimes fail at that juncture when they start Getting Started because theyre too all over the place. Were now 200 people and, you know, going from 5 to 200 it is the most important question. You need to make sure that you pick one partner, two partners max and then focus, you know, almost obsessively, we call it maniacal focus and actually make a really big impact because trying to have ten partnerships that are running you all over the place that get you nowhere, your actual core business cant possibly run much less youre not taking a step forward with the partnership, so i would say its a great question. Its a really hard one. It doesnt go away which i think is her point but maniacal focus is probably the best thing and the last thing ill add for everybody out there who are entrepreneurs and people in tech and trying to do really hard things, sometimes i think one of the best things that also helps to sort of move this conversation forward is getting one or two people that just theyre going to tell you the tough stuff that you have to do to get better. I found that was probably the best thing that happened to me a few years ago is actually saying give it to me straight, tell me the hard news and dont tell me everything thats great and being less defensive about taking really good feedback has helped me move myself forward as a leader and my business forward but surrounding yourself with people who are much smarter and much more talented and can help you pick the partnerships but help evolve your thinking and help evolve all of us trying to do tough things being an entrepreneur as i think you said pretty beautifully back there you need tough skin and you need resill zeience and you need to fight every day. Good question. I want to ask our panelists about brief closing thoughts about the conversation or what they want to leave us with food for thought. Rachel, you can also feel free to use your minute to respond to the last conversation. All i was going to say is decision fatigue is real. Its something that ive really noticed in my life since every single decision i have to make about my daughter seems so weighty and huge so if you can outsource your Decision Making or just take some of it off your plate, you dont have to review every single one of the 3 ,000 emails in your inbox. I know you want to. But in order to move forward we do have to just allow ourselves to unenmesh from the feeling we have to make all the decisions all the time, so that would be my answer to this that. But more generally were talking about how to you know, how to lift up Women Leaders in technology and its so, i think its not about only about taking this advice, how can i make myself more of a leader, what can i do for myself. If i leave you with one thing, i really, realreally want to leave you with the notion that the rising tide really does lift all boats. And so if your mission is not only to lift yourself up but if its to lift the community up and the community of women up and so, you know, amplify the women around you. Support them. You know, like, and Start Twitter fights with conferences that only have lineups of all white dudes, like, all of that. Thats important. It makes a difference. It is making a difference. And i really wanted to just leave you guys with that. You ladies with that. Kia . I think we all know that we dont live in a colorless, genderless society. I think that each of us have a role to play in leveling in creating more equality and more equity and more opportunity for women, for people of color, for women of color, and i think you have to be a little bit intentional about creating carving out a space for what is your own personal impact going to be, not everyone can create a fabulous network of women thats going to rise the tide for all of us, but all of us have a role to play even in our own daily lives. I think the other thing i would just add really focus it might just be you bringing one or two more people into this conversation. Having a conversation with a male colleague. Having a conversation with an investor or with your boss or with an employee, you know. I think the conversation has to get bigger. It has to include not just people who look like us. It has to include people who dont even know that this is an issue and i think that at a very minimum each of us knows someone who probably has no idea that, you know, that this is all going on and that this is a struggle. So, i would say that at the very least we each have a role to play in our daily lives in bringing more people to the table. Alexa . So, having been one of the people in the audience on so many different occasions listening to a panel like this, one thing that has been tremendous to helping me in my own career was that the big gap isnt knowledge. Its actually belief in guts. Its having the belief in yourself and actually having the guts to take the jump so ill share with you one thing that has actually completely changed my life. When i was an undergrad i worked in the happy lab. It was an interesting experience for me. We took people who were 90 and had them look back at their life. They never regretted something that they did. They didnt regret the people they dated or the x, y, and z but they always regretted the one thing they didnt do. I really wish i had the guts to do this one thing. What ive imparted on myself is little 90yearold alexa on my shurld, when you are 90 and you look back are you going to really regret this and if the answer is crystal clear, yes, to andrews oint, this is the most amazing time for innovation, it truly is, i dont think weve seen a decade like this, its incredible, but if you have a Business Plan or an idea, put your 90yearold self on your shoulder. Do write the plan because you cant just jump off the cliff with no parachute. Write the plan and have the knowledge and have belief and guts. Andrew . My advice is to never let a guy have the last word. And so im going to follow my own advice and yield the remainder of my time to our esteemed moderator. Turn off his mike. Thank you, andrew. Yes. Thank you. Your daughters are very lucky to have you. I want to thank all of you for joining us today. I want to thank joyce fat self for hosting us this afternoon and talking our panelists for being so remarkably candid and clear in their advice. We know this conversation is nested in a larger conversation about gender in this country and around the world. About race in this country and around the world. We know that certainly not in the United States or in any country do girls and women have the same rights and opportunities that boys and men do. And while it is important that we continue to celebrate success and to share what has worked for each of us, its also important that we continue to recognize the magnitude and the contours of the challenges we face. And there is so much else that we could have talked about today. We could have talked about the fact that the United States is only one of Nine Countries in the world to not have paid off for mothers with infants. We could have talked about our wage gap or actually any countrys wage gap. Because even in the celebrated scandinavian countries women do not earn the same as men. Because we at the Clinton Foundation care so intensely that each of us is armed with whatever information we need, we lawn. The no ceilings full participation report that andrew was kind enough to reference as was joyce where we brought together the largest aggregation of data ever for rights of women and girls here in the u. S. And around the world. We hope you go to noceilings. Org you can search on your own country if youre not american and find out what is really true or not yet true for women and girls in your country. You can search by issue area and we brought some of the visuals to share with you during cocktail hour. We hope it further whets your curiosity and keeps you engaged in this conversation and hope it brings others into this conversation. Until this is something we are all talking about we wont be able to stop asking questions like the ones kia and alexa unfortunately received, so helping us move forward is something we all have a vested interest in and were so grateful that all of you could join all of us here today. Thank you very much. Coming up in less than 30 minutes, senator marco rubio holds a town hall in chapin, South Carolina. Well take viewer calls after the event and talk to some of the attendees.

Tonight at 8 00 eastern on cspan, former National Security counterterrorism director Daniel Rosenthal who was in charge of closing the Guantanamo Bay prison joins a discussion about that facility. The panel also includes two attorneys who represented detainees held there. One of the lawyers, Thomas Wilner talks about why the prison should be closed. Guantanamo is terribly important to this country, and im worried im worried about the people there, and i want them treated well, and i want them home. But more than that, im worried about what it means for the country. Guantanamo was established to avoid the law. The whole purpose of guantanamo, the Bush Administration considered the law an impediment that it would have to avoid and said if we put foreigners in a place thats technically outside our sovereign territory, we can avoid review by the courts and we can deprive them of legal rights. And unfortunately, although we won the case saying they had a right to habeas corpus and we won the case saying they have a constitutional right, the d. C. Circuit has said that they still dont have the rights of due process. If the government can put them over there, theyre beyond the reach of the constitution in other ways. And thats a horrible thing for this country. Its a horrible loophole. I find it reprehensible. I not only want the people home, i want the law corrected so the United States can stand by its principles and be proud of them and not try to avoid them.

Treasury secretary jack lew appears before the Senate Finance committee to discuss the revenue proposals and the president s 2017 budget request. He testifies about the administrations ideas for addressing puerto ricos financial crisis, tax code reform, infrastructure investment, and a new tax on oil. If the committee will come to order. Todays hearing on is on president obamas budget for year 2017. I want to thank secretary liu for providing his time for us. While there hints about the details in advance, congress received the Budget Proposal yesterday and as has been the case under this administration, what we received was not a practical vision for the future. We will have to have order here. And its too often been the case, what we received was not a practical vision for the future, but a document to advance and seer policy proposals. Obama looks to raise taxes on hardworking americans and new regressive taxes that are being packaged as fees. With all the revenue going fuelexpanded government and spending what is being sold as investment. No matter what terms people want to use, they tax and spend too much and never witnesses. It was a vision as far as the eye can see and never growing national debt. That stands at an astronomical 19 trillion as of last week i believe it
