Women leaders, in turns out, have a history of intentionally reaching out and creating bonds with their female colleagues. This panel will explore the unique perspective women bring to leadership positions, including in how they craft policy, how they create environments where other women can succeed, and how women working together may help to heal our current political divides.Speakers: •	Barbara Mikulski, former U.S. Senator •	Connie Morella, former U.S Congresswoman and Ambassador to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development•	Brooke Lierman, moderator, Maryland State Delegate Panel 2: Women Working Across the Atlantic Friday, September 18, 2–2:50 p.m. ETDespite some high-profile exceptions, including three female secretaries of state, women have historically been underrepresented in U.S. foreign policy and national security.
