Ai-Jen Poo wants to democratize the vision of what it means to be a good leader and elevate the ideas and vision of women who she feels are underutilized in todays society.  There is power in working with a group rather than solo, as the strategy and ideas come from the collective energy. It can give strength and courage to boldly move forward without overthinking.

 

Ai-jen Poo is the Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and the Co-director of the Caring Across Generations Campaign. She has been organizing immigrant women workers for over two decades, forging pathways to sustainable quality jobs for the caregiving workforce and working to ensure access to affordable care for the nation’s aging populations.

Ai-jen is a 2014 MacArthur Fellow and is listed on Fortune.com’s World’s greatest Leaders. She is the author of The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America.
