We now resume the 80th meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
Today, we have with us Lynn Bowes-Sperry, who is testifying before the committee as an individual. She is an associate professor of management in the College of Business, Western New England University.
Madame Bowes-Sperry, thank you for being with us today.
I will give you 10 minutes for your opening remarks. I will have to stop you after 10 minutes, and we'll go to our question-and-answer round.
Without further remarks, I give you the floor, Madame Bowes-Sperry.
