My name is Susan McGlory Michel and I am the CEO and founder of Glen Eagle, a wealth management firm in New Jersey. Today, I'm joined by Sangeeta Rao, Assistant Dean of Student Mentoring Programs at Rutgers University. Sangeeta oversees the Women's Business Undergraduate and Leadership Development, or Women BUILD program, which is a leadership program designed to provide high-achieving, motivated and talented women undergraduates the opportunity to reach their full leadership potential as business students. She is now co-leading a new women's initiative at breakfast business school that seeks to build strong connections between students, faculty, alumni and corporations. with the goal of addressing systemic gender biases and business, she has conducted a training program on mentoring for women officials in Vietnam as part of the United Nations Development Program initiative. Sangeeta has a PhD in communication studies from the University of Massachusetts. Welcome. Sangeeta Rao: Thank you. Thank you for having me.

So obviously, this was a concern for the Council of Economic Advisers as well as the Council on Women and Girls. And it's a very valid one. Increasingly and continuously we've seen the lack of representation of women at higher levels within organizations when it comes to leadership, we’ve also seen the persistence of pay inequity at all levels, especially for women of color. These are systemic issues that need systemic changes, which is why...
