I love history. I was one class short of a history minor in college while I was pursuing my business degree in transportation and logistics. So, when I reflect on Women’s History Month, my first inclination is how few women are reflected in our history. I suppose that is the point of WHM – to shine a light on those women who have led the way. It makes me think of how fortunate I was to see women in significant leadership roles early in my life. They were few and far between, but I was lucky to see them.
One of my first encounters was being fortunate to have an internship during college, at the Department of Transportation in Washington, D.C., while Elizabeth Dole was Secretary of Transportation. Later, she also served as the Secretary of Labor. She was the first woman to serve at a Cabinet level in two different positions, in two different administrations. There have been 36 women total to serve in Cabinet positions (including the current Biden administration) since the first, Frances Perkins in 1933. I was lucky to see a woman leading the Department of Transportation at the beginning of my supply chain career. I have also been lucky to see the number of women leading supply chains around the world increase throughout my career. We have a long way to go to reach parity and equity for all “minorities” – for all aspects of diversity represented through diversity of gender, race, sexual orientation, age, thought, geography, etc. I invite other women to join me in intentionally addressing this issue.
