EXPANDING THE POSSIBILITIES ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 NATIONAL WOMEN’S LAW CENTER ABOUT THE CENTER The Center has been expanding the possibilities for women and their families for over 40 years, yet the Center’s mission is far from complete. Many women don’t get equal pay for equal work. High-quality affordable child care remains beyond the reach of millions of families. Title IX’s promise of educational opportunity has not been realized for every girl and woman. Reproductive health care is at great risk. And women of all ages are more likely than men to be poor. The Center is committed to taking on the toughest challenges ahead, to secure past gains and to advance equality and opportunity for women and their families. NWLC

BROOKSLEY BORN CENTER &JANE SHERBURNE SUPPORTERS THE EXTRAORDINARY BROOKSLEY BORN AND JANE SHERBURNE

THE CENTER BEGAN IN 1972 WITH AN AMBITIOUS VISION OF ITS GOALS AND MISSION. It was clear that exceptional leadership was required to achieve it.

Brooksley Born stepped into the role of Board Chair from the start, and she was, indeed, exceptional. Brooksley was one of the first female attorneys in the nation to address inequities in how women were treated under the law, one of the first female partners at the nationally known law firm Arnold & Porter, and later became Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. She remained a steadfast Board member throughout. Every year under Brooksley’s guidance, the Center has expanded opportunities and protections for women and, while the work is far from done, the Center has achieved extraordinary advances for women. Brooksley’s strategic vision and leadership have been indispensable.

At the end of this year, Brooksley retired her Chair’s gavel. While she will remain on the Center’s Board, it is time to recognize her exceptional leadership and to say thank you. In honor of Brooksley’s service, the Center created the Brooksley Born Innovation Fund, which will help ensure that it can be nimble and creative in addressing future challenges and launch innovative, cutting-edge projects.

HOW FORTUNATE THAT JANE SHERBURNE HAS AGREED TO BECOME THE CENTER’S BOARD CHAIR. A long-time colleague and Center Board member, Jane has had a distinguished career. Currently a principal of the legal consulting firm Sherburne PLLC, Jane served as litigation partner at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering—where she argued a landmark affirmative action case—and General Counsel at several major corporations, including Citigroup’s Global Consumer Business, Wachovia Corporation and most recently the Bank of New York Mellon. Jane is dedicated to the public interest, having served as Special Counsel to President Bill Clinton and Chief of Staff to the Commissioner of Social Security in the Carter Administration. She has also served on numerous non-profit Boards with distinction.

We welcome Jane and look forward to a productive, successful year.
