 <title>GovLoop and Deloitte: Gender Dividend/Paths to Power</title>
 <link>http://www.younggovernmentleaders.org/event/govloop-and-deloitte-gender-dividendpaths-power</link>
 <description>&lt;div class=&quot;start&quot;&gt;Start: 03/01/2011 - 2:00pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;end&quot;&gt;End: 03/01/2011 - 2:30pm&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Debates on the values of diversity and the empowerment and advancement of women have raged for centuries, but when it comes to gender equality, few achievements can compare with the rising role of women in government. The public sector&#039;s openness to women serves as a model for the private sector, and ultimately for women as a global workforce, but the path to achieving gender parity has been slow and uneven.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

YGL’s Fourth Birthday!!!  - Thursday, August 18th - 5:00p.m.-7:30p.m.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It’s hard to believe but our chapter is celebrating its 4th Anniversary, so please join us Thursday, August 18th as we toast to another successful year for Boston YGL..  We have reserved the 2nd Floor Lounge at The Greatest Bar (262 Friend Street), and they say some bands should be playing that night, so I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun.   We hope to see you all there as we wish YGL a very Happy Birthday.
