What Rockford women are doing
What Rockford women need to know
Women in power
What you look like. Whom you know. What you believe in.
For Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, women in power should take these issues seriously.
The oldest child of Sen. Robert Kennedy and the first female lieutenant governor of Maryland gave that advice this spring in her keynote address at the Rockford YWCA Leader Luncheon. Her speech sparked some discourse among the 600 people who attended.
We asked for feedback from Rockford-area women in positions of power, including leaders in government, business, religion and social service. They speak from a variety of life experiences, from the military to motherhood. Here’s a look at who they are, what they believe and how they define power.
MARY SWAAB: POWER IS KNOWLEDGE
DENIECE SENTER: POWER IS INFLUENCE
ANGELA TENSLEY: POWER IS RESPECT
