For the past five decades, Rebecca Sive, age 70, has built coalitions—across lines of age, ethnicity, race, gender, and political persuasion-- to address a range of social issues. Her primary focus is advancing women’s rights in all fronts, especially their leadership in local and national politics. Rebecca’s rich experiences as a public official, civic leader, political analyst, historian, college teacher, and speaker are fodder for her books on getting women into public office and her podcast #VoteHerIn. She appeals to younger women to appreciate and draw on the hard-earned wisdom of older women who have broken down so many institutional and systemic barriers.

Take-Aways:

You can build coalitions by finding common denominators that transcend differences.
Every day is the time to do something you think is worth doing, for others and for self.
Lead a life that is rich in your contributions to the common good
We get older and wiser and have so much to contribute.
