 Ethnic Technologies Salutes Strong Women–In honor of Women’s History Month, Ethnic Technologies wants to celebrate strong women. There is a very engaging dialogue in the media right now surrounding the word “bossy” as it applies to women. Two women with very different backgrounds but both with equally strong leadership skills have started this conversation. Sheryl San dberg, COO of Facebook, and Anna Maria Chavez, CEO of Girl
Scouts Of The USA, were both called bossy and more during their childhood and adult years. They both discuss the negativity surrounding the label, and the consequences suffered. If a man is a strong leader, it is considered an invaluable character trait and one for other men to emulate. However conversely, if a woman is a strong leader, she is automatically labeled “bossy”, and considered to have a character flaw because of it. So, despite earning the majority of U.S. college degrees, women make up only 5 % of Fortune 500 CEO’s and 19% of the U.S. Congress. Women make great leaders, and we need great leaders. So, we salute strong women and great leaders! For more information contact Karen Sinisi, Sales Director at 866-333-8324 ext. 117 or karens@ethnictechnologies.com

| About Women’s History Month
National Women’s History Month’s roots go back to March 8, 1857, when women from New York City factories staged a protest over working conditions. International Women’s Day was first observed in 1909, but it wasn’t until 1981 that Congress established National Women’s History Week to be commemorated the second week of March. In 1987, Congress expanded the week to a month. Every year since, Congress has passed a resolution for Women’s History Month, and the President has issued a proclamation.
