A large portion of women were serving in both houses of Congress like Nancy Pelosi and in federal cabinet positions. President Ronald Reagan appointed the first female Superior…

Imagine a young girl, about three year’s old sitting in her wooden rocking chair surrounded by picture books. They are sprawled all over the floor, and here she sits and “reads” aloud to her stuffed animals. But, she doesn’t know how to read, so she makes the story up based on the pictures she sees in the book. Now imagine the same young girl, now she is five years old. She sits on a chair with crayons of every color, coloring books, and paper spread across the kitchen table. She sits here and…

Administration teams must carefully…

This love for problem solving is what is leading me…
