The future the nation and when i use the term equity i mean just and fair inclusion into a society in which all can participate, prosper and reach full potential. When we think about equity we often think about the fairness part of it. We think in the way that i just described it, but when you look at the inequality problem, when you look at the shifting demo graphics, it becomes clear if we get the equity agenda right , we get the nation right. Equity is the antidote to inequality and we think that equity is the superior growth modfrl the nation. The organization that i work for, policy link has something on our website which i guarantee you will enjoy playing with called the National Equity atlas. It looks at 150 regions across american. The first narrative tellathize story about changing demo graphics so you can go to whaerfb area and see the eshifting demo graphics. The next lists 32 indicators of economic wellbeing and broken down by race you can look at the Economic Indicators and see how American People are doing and people of color in particular. The last part is the punchline. What it does is looks at what would be the impact on the gdp if we got rid of Racial Disparity in termoffs income . If the curve of income did chbt have [inaudible] the people make thg lowest there are no difference on race and same with highest. The gdp would be 2. 1 twillian dollars hire every year. In 2012, in the San Francisco bay area the gdp would have been 117 billion dollars hires. Not only is equity important for fairness and justice and inclusion it is the spear yor growth model. I think it is clear we need it get this agenda right not just for emwithen of color and people left behind but for everybody. It reminds me of the curb cutter effect. You go the curb cuts, they are there because of the people with disabilities particularly those in wheelchairs. They are there because even though people with disabilities have been able to get legal rights the legal rights were hobbled if people couldnt maneuver to the knhunties to get jobs. Those curb curtss how many times you pushed a baby carriage and so glad it is there and didnt have to pick unthat contraption . How many times workers push carts and have the load lightened because of incurb cuts . How many times do people relax as the new bike rider 7 or 8 truversing the sidewalk and not riding the street . That is a example where wh we get something right for those most vulnerable it cast cades up. We get it right for those most vulnerable and get it right for everybody. The same is true if you think about the bike lanes. The bike laneerize there because of the vulnerability of people on bikes but in cityarve city where the bike laneerize installed traffic accidents have gone down. You get it proith for those most vulnerable you get is right for everyone. The bike lanes organize the traffic in ways we didnt know it has to be organi you look so good yeah shoulder roll, here we go. Get in there. Give yourself some love thank you so much. We are kaiser and hoping you have a great day and thrive are you awake . Do you feel refreshed . [laughter] what a talented bunch of women, who know you could rock it out . That was fun. Alright. Everybody whipeing off the sweat, settling down. Before we move on our graphic recorder julie [inaudible] is providing a visual interpretation of todays proceed squgz will have her drawings in the lobby later today. We have a fabulous Panel Discussion coming up for you, another one to lead our next discussion on leadership and visibility welcome nbc white house cur spondence, chrising. Joining is former hodef u. S. Protection agency and Vice President of environment policy and social initiative of apple, lisa jackson. Also welcome back to the stage cohost and mayor of oakland, libby schaaf. And a very special guest from nearby hayward welcome the 43 treasurer of the United States, rosie rios. And chris jansing, the stage is yours. Thank you all. And thank you for coming. Im so exsiteded to be with these women. They all worked together as one time ear another. It is like 6 degrees of separation but in addition they are womeen in fields that a lot of women found difficult to break through in, science and technology, government, level of finance. Being the United States treasurer and opening wine at a cocktail party, that is my name on the 5 and 10 and 20 dollar bill. They say that is my moms signature. Is their name too so they use it all the time. We want to talk today about what is means to be in a leadership role, what the visibility means, both the proand cons. I want to start with big picture question and go through all 3 quickly. How has being a woman helped your career and hurt it . That is a great question. This position of the treasurer of the United States is a woman since 1949 and at the time president truman thought is to have a womans name on the money. It was a symbolic gesture. On the other hand the position evolved over time and before i took the job it was ceremonial so felt the need to redeem it, validate with something more substanceative. Mayor. I think of two things where it helped me. One, i feel like sometimes i am under estimated in negotiations and that actually is my advantage. Sometimes with even professional sports teams. And then second, when i face the tv cameras and Say Something like, i came to run a police department, not a frat house, people feel how serious i am. They know that statement comes from a life experience, a lived experience that is very real. I think can at to your credibility and plat form of knowledge you can speak from when you are connected from your passion and knowledge. As far as hurting me, i want to be real, breast feeding. Breast feeding as a executive. To walk into had board room and have two giant wet spots on your blouss is one the hardest things. When i tweent the white house president o obama said there is something in the water because so many women were pregnant. They have a great set up at the white house and sure Valerie Jarrett will have things to say. Lisa i should give prop tooz apple because your company was named wrun of the top 5 recruiting and retaining high quality talent but for you what it meant it to be a woman . I think you bring yourself to everything you do from academics to work place,thality is the good. Im a chemical engineer by training so i always felt i had a different perfective in a class full of back quh i was at school mostly guys who were studying along side me so it is a huge advantage. It can be the disadvantage because the perspective is different and dont fit the mold you have to fight to be heard and understood and not just sort of that classic moment where you Say Something and someone who is male says it a couple minutes later and they remember it because they say it. It is real but two sides the same coin. When i read you had a master degree in Chemical Engineering and got tight in the stomach and is that because that isnt my skill set . Or because there is something intrinsic in me that says that is something women are not good at and dont do . Are we still there with that . How is stem coming along . Stem is coming but it is pipeline issue. For some time Chemical Engineering had a lot more females studying at the under graduate level so we are perfectly capable no surprise of doing the work. I think what is a bit disconserting is retention part because we are soi like to use mr. Slaucken and diana troy, we are taught being a scientist we have toleave all this emotion back to make good decisions and what i believe and annemarie slaughter was on and what i believe is change the profession of engineering or science to incorporate a humanistic version. Im a chemical engineer that works on cleaning up hazardous waste. I want to look at stats because i think they are telling and interaesting in the context of the last speaker and we were behind this wall and watching and it is little disconserting it see two people of equal talent and resumes going for the same jobs and the way they are perseechbceived differently. Womeen earn 60 percent of masters degrees and half of law degrees. They hold all most 52 percent of professional level jobs so all great, right . Here is the bad news. Women are less than 15 percent of executive officers 8 percent of top wage earns and less than 5 percent of fortune 500 ceo. They hold 17 percent of fortune 500 board seats. Why are women not doing better . It isnt just the numbers it 1 the rends im more concerned about. If you think about the 3 pillars of influence, lets talk about money and power piece. Womeen started reteated from their participation as members of congress in 2010. The numbers started going down. The fortune 500 ceos it wasnt from 24 last year to 21 this year and it will be 20 when we lose urlsa burns. It is the trend we should think about and dont think we growing going in the right direction. I can talk about politics because being in washington and on the campaign trail, wrun the most fascinating and depressing conversations i had was with someone whos job to recruit woman to run for congress and other mayor or city council an what she told me is woman and men auch approach the jobs very very differently. Women go in because they want to change the world and dont want to say there are not men that dont go in for the right reasons. They go in because they want to be somebody who can be a positive force for changeism men go in maybe for that reason as well but it is power. When women especially women who they recruit for the house and senate, think about whatthey can get done and look how polarized washington is and know they will have to give up. We all know what price we pay for doing high level jobs. They just dont see thethey do a cost benefit analysis and dont see what could begained. Maybe 20 years ill be a Committee Chair and have influence. I dont know someone who run for different offices or city council, what do you see . It is applicable to a lot of places in the world, you do had cost benefit analysis and in theened you wonder if they think it isnt equal and have to do more in the other part of my life and do what jirjer rogers did compared to fred astair. So, what will it take . You know, im a fan of emerge california and emerge america. [applause] which is a organization that is helping Democratic Women seek first office. A lot of organizations are trying to get people into congress but you dont have qualified women to run for Congress Unless they start at the school board or Library Commission or something else. Secondly, their studies demonstrate there are two big reasons women choose to not run. First, they feel too many obligations outside of the their work. Their families, the home and so again, by liberating men and the rest of the society to share in those duties, will help all of us. And then secondly, women tend to need to be asked and so that is something we all can do. Encourage women to see themselves as those leaders. I agree but why do we wait . I bragged about the fact i never went for a job and people c5i78 to me as i made my way up to a small newspaper and Radio Station and television and coming to nbc [inaudible] happened to see mei was happy working away in albaany new york and was on vacation and ais a me and made a phone call. I dont think that is as truei have been in the business 40 years, but why do we wait to be asked . I think that we were trained maybe not by our caregivers but by society at large that women should be asked and i do think that changed a lot from the time when i was going through and being the only woman in class or only woman in engineering. I want to put all you on the spot. For all the woman who want to know how to ask how do they come to you in positions och power and leadership, what is the ask . I want to switch the script a little because i am tired of us blaming ourselves like you are not brave enough to do it yourself. It is really important in all areas of impact, gender is one, race is another that we stop blaming the individual actor and look at the system and us in government we often have been put in place to maintain the status quo. There are systems and practices in place that we have to disrupt if we want different outcomes. In oakland we change from having traditional election to ranked Choice Voting that allows a voter instead of picking one candidate to rank tupe 3 candidates and one of the things that it often results in and not saying it is not perfect but it often results in actually more politecome paining because you dont want to offend the supporters of your competitor because you want them to put you second. Hat is so true in this campaign season. Yeah. Hello. That is a system change, changing the way we do elections led to more civil campaigning. I think it starts individually and think disruption is a big piece but i call myself a constructive disrupter. You have tobe very strategic and have to do your homework. You shouldnt ask for something and bang on the table because you deserve it because you are a woman you have to do the research you need to do to make your proposal. When i took this job i wasnt going take the job because i was a woman or a history of latina, i made a proposal and wasnt going to take it unless it was substantive enough to use my finance background. It is systemic. The Treasury Building was built in the 1800s and didnt have a nursing lounch. I took it on because i thought it was porpt for a woman coming back into the workplace to feel they are valued and have a place to go and can do their job. It is more than that. As you probably know i have worked on the projecktd in the last 8 year tooz put a woman on our currency. Working on it very successfully this is best example of what you are talking about, i have the printing drecktder who reported to me and his deputy and his deputy and they worked at the be 2rks all most 100 years so the projject came to mind december 2008. As you look at how the [inaudible] the person on the front [inaudible] it was strange that 50 percent the population was not honored as part of our history. I ask the 3 people individually why the conversation hasnt happened before in 120 years. Mean while there is over 40 countries, us and saudi arabia. The answer i got from each people individually was the same, no one ever brought it up. So, what else are we not bringing up . Hash tag, bring it up. What else are we not bringing up . I know you have your phone, hash tag bring it up. I guess in that context, is there something that you learned along the way when younger women come to you or women returning to the workforce which i see a lot in the 30s or 40s because they see a lot of young women in journalism and ask what can i do. Do you feel that part of your leadership responsibility is to give that opportunity to young woman and what do you tell them . I absolutely believe part of our job is insure diversity and for us diversity at apple but for me personally is more than gender or gender identification, but at this forum lets talk about that. Meantering is important. Finding sponsors for people there to help you succeed. Dont confuse meantering with charity work. You have to make the valued proposition for me because there are so many people that are looking to find the right place. It is really important to know what you want so you asked about why dont we ask. I think we just need to profect asking. We need to prosquecktfect saying here is what i bring to the table and i will never ever discount the importance of looking someone in 24 eye and saying, i want to work for you and here is what i can do to help you be successful while i also become successful. Everyone, male and female needs to dothality before she wrote a best selling book there was gasps in the audience when she suggested she did not like it when someone says will you mentor me. That she felt that was somehow less thani dont want to put words in her mouth or what do you consider with this role both in government very different types because you had to run for office, do you consider yourself a roll model and feel a responsibility in the leadership position to help other women achieve that . It was a great moment when a boy looked and said, can boys be mayors too . Im like, oh my god i was like, yes, sweetheart, they can. For methis ties into answering your last question. My advice to young people, one is just to be very clear about your passion and mission and values. At least in my business you need a very thick skin. You got to always have the place to come back to. The other thing and this sh kind of a twist on meantering is Pay Attention to relationships and that can beit is no accident rosa, rosie, we are up here together. Isnt that ironic . We work together. A champion can be on a specific project it is project management the approach whether investment so far a firm and the Due Diligence process is very, very specific how you decided whether or not your investing in a project the existing conditions and now the recommendations from the limbs if you think about that in a more simplistic way how you propose a prong this is what i use when i propose this what is what you use for any type of projects this recognition inspiration taking on the ability to be able to do our homework and think about what youre doing for that champion how to affect the organization or is people around you and is inspiration what that means in terms of what youre leaving behind you if you think about what to propose a project or program and you go to someone male or female and asking them to be a champion of what youre froeps scloons you follow that path of Due Diligence the same way it is not failed me it kind of takes the personal stigma off of what it means with you approach a male colleague or boss is it so very, very specific and let me tell you that works 100 percent great advise weigh coming down to the final minutes what time do you get up in the morning. 4 oclock 6 oclock how how many you are hours a week do you work with your job in the with the kids in the how much you work. Nonstop 24 7. Ill say on my minds wjd weekends. Can we take anything onstage or the black berries.

Sometimes the thing you think are the worst failures are the best. Lizzie jackson and libby schaaf what a fantastic group the conversation about the future. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome anyone that needs no introduction the former mayor of the city and county of San Francisco the honorable willie brown. Good morning to each and every one of you im delighted that mayor ed lee and mayor schaaf invited me to come participate in the bay area womens summit it was a concept that we started many years ago in San Francisco. And for 5 consecutive years we did the womans and mayor submit right here with the same emphasis that those two mayors are doing for the San Francisco bay area understand there is and the at least two of my chair people here linda and carol chairpersons on more than one occasion before the event. clapping. that was frankly spectacular it did appropriately address the needs of women and what basically, had been for a long time an attitude busy government by businesses and by operations that did not Pay Attention to the differences between what was done with women on behalf of women and other people and so it was fabulous to have that occur and to have those two mayors come forward now addressing the needs and the issues and to have all of you attend her in i know youll enjoy when they extended the opportunity to me they called to my attendance attention a person that had for a long time participated and was the driver and organizing immigrant women extending care for children, and suddenly discovering that in the process of people being in an i didnt see and wet maids. What have you a desire to have their assistance carried over to people of a different age older people and to that end after organizing Domestic Workers in the state of new york she focused her attention on merging the adjudicators of care given side which is a whole new concept of for this nation they organized and caused new york to say that their shall be a Domestic Workers bill of rights a concept that is also in the state of california and concept that is about to happen in the state of illinois but simultaneously aribnb the right to do what you do when somebody says youre a fellow they said that about her aribnb the right to be included in time magazines one hundred greatest people or 5 hundred greatest people or whatever the number she is if i did in every one of those categories they writes and speaks and organizes and in a manner in which the energy put into it cant be impaired in any other source i should is share and video michael has done before i bring her on michael can we do the video . You are a wonderful enjoy full loving person. A father figure to me. You are just gentle we care about each other an interest in each other if before i came to country i was taken care of of my grandmother i thought you can do the job. I took it for granted if i do anything ill get up and go out shopping and visiting people unfortunately, it is no longer the case. I noticed you were changing years ago. After i being able to get to go outside i got the opportunity then to go places with you. When i got home from rehab after being unaware for over 3 medias months the first thing i saw 8 balloons you put up around my door welcoming me back and he knew i was truly home. I am totally honored to be a caregiver for you that is a great privilege and a enjoy for me. There are so many things i still carton do i dont think open you to help me the hem is given so freely what so much love and that makes me feel a lot better. And still independent. As i said independent with benefits. Were not only just caregivers you are nutritionist the nurse and doctor. Your my mother davis and loved by a whole a lot of people. Youre a doctor morris youre my patient your pediatrician, war veteran, taught me things i know would take me through the rest of my life. Youre my community but even more than that youre my friend.

Thank you so much mayor brown what an visible honor to be introduced by you im humiliated and huge thanks to mayor ed lee and mayor schaaf i want to give a huge amount of appreciation for staff whos work made that possible can we give them a huge round of applause. clapping. i am so thrilled to be here for so many reasons im going to pick up where did great ann mary slaughter left off this morning and talk to you about the work that makes all other work possibly the work of kevin for the most precious elements of our lives our kids, hour homes our aging loved ones or in the case with people with disabilities our independence all of us are touched in one form or another by this work. In fact, if youre providing care for a Family Member or loved one or friend at the moment can you just raise your hand hundreds of us thank you all the work you do to care for families members that work so often goes unrecognized and unbeknownst appreciated no there is also a large and growing part of our workforce who does care and Domestic Work as a profession approximately 2 million women work as in an i didnt see and housekeepers and attendance in the great state of california some of them are here in the room the members leader of and the california Domestic Workers coalition are you here. clapping. huge shout out it is their job to make sure that our homes are peaceful and cared for that our aging loved one can will well in the community and people with disabilities can live independent and full lives what could be more important and yet it is some of the most unevaluated vulnerable work in our Economy Today, we comparing compare it to the wield west you might find an wonderful employer to stay with for years and generations at times weve seen that or you might find the other end the spectrum weve found cases of modern day slavery and Sexual Assault and everything in between not much but in fact, you can walk into any Department Building arrest neighborhood in the be sure and not know which homes are working places there is no registry, no guidelines and even as an employer if you want to do the right thing it is not a little clear what that is in fact, there is a very long history of exclusion of this workforce from some of the most basic protections that all of us take for granted in the 1930s when the new deal was negotiated in Congress Southern members of congress refused to support the package of lash laws if they included farm workers and others that are mostly black workers at the time so the fair laborer standards act that created the minimum wage that provided the framework for the right to form a union both passed with inclusion of Domestic Workers those racial exclusions with impacted by the fact that the work is not seen as real work it is associated with womens work taken for granted or expected and not associated with any real economic value so what meant for workers like Elizabeth Fernandez as a caregiver is 12 or 14 or arena the clock would cooking and cleaning and Grocery Shopping and physical work it is that hard work really hard work and she takes home between 8 and 9 per hour those wages have to stretch she has to support her children and family and the philippines and pay her own informed and rented not hard to see how we i understand windup in a situation 1 3rd of the workforce relies on public assistance just to survive how could it be that such a hardworking workforce were counting ton to care for our families cant earn enough to take care of their own this workforce is on the front lines of tremendous change in the culture and demographics we saw how many of us are caring for Families Month caregiver work is done by families it is stretched today more than 60 percent of women have working outside of the home juggling fulltime work with more than two hours on average of work kevin for families members on top of that and theyre increasingly relying on many house cleaners and housekeepers to support their needs on top of this this year the baby boomers are turning 70 as a rate of every person 8 seconds and because of advances no health care and Technology People in any grandmother demographic of 85 and older are the faster demographic in the nation and millennials that are turning 35 and having children and relying on chair mar providers and in an i didnt see to support their chair mar needs those jobs predominantly held by women more than 90 percent women often women of color and immigrant women those jobs kauntd be outsourced and for the month to month moment most people peace officer humans to care for their loved ones that may change home care is the feast growing cooperation and by 2030 caregivers will be largest in the economy weve got to transform those jobs into good jobs you can take provide in and one generation can do better than the next those workforce deserves nothing less and our families deserve to have a strong sustainable professional workforce to support our 0 growing family care needs every care job has to be a good job and fortunately, this workforce is organizing to insure that that is the case were winning clapping. more than 20 years ago and right here in the bay area and cities around the country domestic folks starting coming together no Church Basements and centers around the country supporting one another and raising fund through selling food and organizing raffles today, we have 55 local affiliate organizations and 38 cities around the country their encourage and hard work has created a moment in history they are making history their encourage to step out of showed and into their power has led to policy victories with the package of Domestic Workers bill of rights at the state and municipal level. clapping. yes. Illinois just became the 7 state to pass a Domestic Workers bill of rights and were fighting in any other states asia municipals and thanks to the leadership of our president obama and the secretary of labor tom perps we brought 2 million home caregivers minimum wage out of 80 ners of exclusion a huge victory for working women. clapping. and right here in the great state i state of california the california Domestic WorkersCoalition Won a bill of rights in 2013 but it has a sunset it is due to sunset and therefore this year and therefore in realtime right now as we speck there is a hearing tomorrow in fact our California Coalition is working around the clock to make sure the california legislative make our bill permanent law we need your support can we count on your support. clapping. none of our victories would have been possible without champions for the every women in the words of organize Environmental Impact statement we have lots of champions in this great state of california like julie and connie and calling names silva lopez they truly understand what it means for every women to win they said when our Solutions Gun from women working in the darkest roots of economy is helps to insure that our Solutions Include every women so ever women a achieve her fullest potential Domestic Workers provide a wonderful example how investing in women particularly woman of color and protecting women provides unique sighted into the solutions for the future putting us all ahead of the curve theres a famous saying the future is now it is just unevenly distributed i sometimes refer to Domestic Workers as the ultimate future theyre living the conditions long before a giga country lack of training and standards and lack of assess to benefits or job security those conditions used to be considered shadow working conditions as a margin of our Economy Today those conditions define more and more work in the American Economy between thirty and 50 he is percent of our workforce will be doing nontraditional work in the next decade temporary selfemployed independence contractor works the framework for works workers rights and labor standards and collective bargaining our safety net over and over social contract protects less and less of our workforce so we started to talking to workers in the giga economy some were domestic we designed principles in the care and throughout the out lying Community Together are a dozen Tech Companies we launched those as companies about r think about their platforms can say great places for the people that work there this is one example of how the examples of people like egd strengthen the conversation will the future of work and care in our economy everyone looking at the world through the eyes of Domestic Workers we often see the problems that we face the challenges we face and a new light in new ways to allows us to see solutions that truly do for ever women but we have a lot more work to side not just in terms of making those jobs good jobs major, major changes the way we live and work and care in this country changes that effect every woman. Longevity the decisional revolution the changes in the racial demographics this moment of change is actually a moment for Bold Solutions that both meet the current momentum and look ahead to what is coming as we make progress on really critical piece of policy like raising the minimum wage and establishing paid sick leave we must challenge ourselves to keep on thinking bigger and bolder the seeds for the new social contract are being planted as we speak big ideas like new solutions to our new realities are emerging everyday like universal basic income or popularity benefits we need to make sure those ideas protect and support every women and will elevate big ideas that truly change the game for women and families like universal chair mar and elderly care how about that. clapping. women must drive the conversation of the social contract especially the lowest income women have the least who as a turned out maybe the least visual are already changing the world around us we need all of our voices i was so happy to see that a big theme of todays summit is about taking pledges to take action so along with that theme i want to share a few opportunities to action.
