[Vision2020] Interfaith Panel Thurs. May 15

[Sue Hovey]

I was in the workforce for many years in various capacities (still sort of) 
and can't even count the number of times I've heard employers who want to 
hire, "the best man for the job." And no, they didn't mean man as an 
all-inclusive word.  Sure, I think things are getting better, but I also 
believe it's because we have cultural change, brought on by laws which 
forced that cultural change.
