Rachel Pearson, founder and chief executive officer of Engage for Women, joins program host Chris Meek on Next Steps Forward to speak about promoting women's economic security. Engage for Women is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting women's economic security through bipartisan and common-sense solutions. Rachel has extensive experience in elective politics, providing strategic planning and counsel for Fortune 500 companies, leading associations, social impact organizations, nonprofits and individuals. Her dedication to bringing together members of Congress, senior staff and corporate leaders is widely recognized by both sides of the aisle as unique and constructive. It was that drive for coming together to find common-sense solutions that inspired her founding of Engage for Women in November of 2018. Throughout the conversation Rachel will speak about her inspiration for focusing on bipartisan solutions for women's economic security despite growing partisan divide, the factors that lead women to economic insecurity that may or may not affect men as profoundly, in what ways the gender wealth gap influences women's long-term economic stability compared to men and many other weighty issues relating to economic security, voting trends and bipartisan policy making.
