Streaming at 1:15 PM: Forum on Workplace Flexibility
Posted by Shama Hussain on March 31, 2010 at 10:00 AM EDT

In a unique event, the White House Council on Women and Girls will be hosting a Forum on Workplace Flexibility, opened by the First Lady. Both the First Lady and the President, who will speak at the forum later in the day, will discuss the importance of creating a work environment that allows men and women to meet the demands of their jobs while balancing the needs of their families. CEOs, small business owners, labor leaders, and workplace policy experts will collaborate on ideas and strategies on how to make the workplace a more flexible place for American workers and families.

The entire forum, including all five breakout sessions, will be streamed on WhiteHouse.gov/live. In addition, much of the event will be streamed to Facebook and Ustream, and the White House will include comments taken through these social networks in the feedback given to the President and senior policy staff after the forum. Head over starting at 1:15PM EDT.

3. Talks about having to take baby Sasha to a job interview with her.....

.... because no one else was able to baby sit. Realizes how lucky she was and knows she could have been turned away simply BECAUSE Sasha was with her.

And the woman who hired her ..... is the one who organized this event. Pays to be nice to people. ;)
