Industry roundtable: Women in the workplace throughout generations

From Albany Business Review:

Law firm Hodgson Russ and the Albany Business Review hosted a panel discussion with seven women in various stages of their careers to answer these questions.

Teal Vivacqua, director, marketing communications at Plug Power; Ashley Jeffrey Bouck, executive director, Girls Inc. of the Capital Region; Kathleen Godfrey, president, Godfrey Financial Associates; Julie Clancy, director of admissions, Emma Willard; Dawn C. Doherty, partner, BST; Carmen Duncan, CEO and founder, Mission Accomplished Transition Services; Kendra Hart, business development manager, Martin Electric

Cindy Applebaum, Albany Business Review publisher and market president, moderated the discussion.

What’s the importance of having a mentor?

What potential do you see in the younger generation?

How do you approach and explain issues facing young girls?

What barriers do you see for women taking on leadership roles?

Are men always the obstacle?

How often do you find yourself the only woman in a room? And how do you deal with that?

What is the value of women-only professional associations? Do they help women work through challenges?

Are younger women aware of the challenges previous generations have faced and the challenges that remain?
