Ask Me Anything: I'm A US Military Gender Advisor

Join this Ask Me Anything conversation with a Gender Advisor to the US Department of Defense (DOD). In this tell-all session, learn about the ins and outs of this emerging field, including the military's Women, Peace, and Security agenda and why on earth the DOD is making this a priority for the 21st century “thinking force”. Learn from one of the first Gender Advisors within the DOD about the good, the bad and the weird of helping to change the mindset of those who run the DOD as well as adventures in teaching creative thinking to some of the world’s toughest customers to further women’s equality and help save the DOD time, money, and lives.
