Chicago Network members are invited to an exclusive discussion with two former Obama staffers and authors of the new book Yes She Can. Molly Dillon and Taylor Lustig will lead a discussion about young women in the workplace. Taylor and Molly's own experiences as young women in a male-dominated, power-rich environment translates to each of us, no matter where we work. These warm, funny, smart, and relatable speakers will leave you saying, β€œYes, I can!”

YES SHE CAN is an intimate look at Obama's presidency through the eyes of some of the completely relatable young women who were there. Full of wisdom they wish they could impart to their younger selves and a message about the need for more girls in government, these recollections are about stepping out into the spotlight and up to the challenge - something every girl can do.
