Obama: "The Surest Path to Success is to surround yourself with Brilliant Women."

This appeared on President Obama's Facebook wall this morning.



I like that Obama referenced the young women in the room so many times during his speech. This talk focuses on access to education & jobs, and private-public partnerships that Obama has coordinated to make this happen. Obama references initiatives Race to the Top, Change the Equation, Skills for America's Future (in partnership with the Aspen Institute), & the recent White House Council on Women & Girls' Women's Entrepreneurship Summit.

In between reading chapters of "The Blue Sweater" I stumbled upon (thanks to Twitter) the list of 2010 winners of the JustMeans.com/Financial Times Social Innovation Awards.

I was psyched to see that two orgs I love, TechSoup and Sparkseed both won awards this year. Was also psyched to discover a new org, who was also an award winner - Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women.
