empowered to thrive will ourfamilies our economies and our societiesreach their fullest potentialas a former entrepreneur employer andexecutive in a male-dominated industryI've seen firsthand that all too oftenwomen must do more than their malecounterparts to prove themselves at workwhile also disproportionately caring fortheir families at home after my father'selection I saw an opportunity to leavemy businesses for the privilege ofserving our country and empowering allAmericans to succeed our administrationis advancing policies that enable womento pursue their careers and care fortheir families policies that improveworkforce development and skillstraining and policies that liftgovernment barriers and fuelentrepreneurship so that Americans canturn their dreams into their
