  This will be an interactive evening that will be sure to get you thinking and motivate you to go vote and get involved in local and state-wide advocacy. Come prepared with questions!    

  Tamara Barringer  North Carolina Senator	Deborah Ross Former NC House  Representative	Janet Cowell Chief Executive for Girl Who Invest

     

  North Carolina’s political landscape is constantly changing, as is the national political landscape. Women across the political spectrum are increasingly being elected to executive and legislative offices and shaping the narrative around laws and policies in this state. Notwithstanding these gains, only 25.3% of the members of the General Assembly were women, while women made up about 51% of North Carolina’s population in 2017. No woman has ever served as speaker of the House or in the Senate’s top leadership role. So what is going on?

  ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

  Janet Cowell is Chief Executive Officer for Girls Who Invest. Passionate about serving others, Cowell held publicly elected offices in North Carolina for fifteen years prior to joining Girls Who Invest. The first woman elected State Treasurer, she managed over $100 billion in assets, and health and retirement benefits, for over 900,000 members. During her eight years as Treasurer, Cowell consistently achieved exceptional results and national recognition: she maintained North Carolina’s AAA bond rating—one of only ten states with a AAA bond rating from all three rating agencies—and grew pension assets from $60 to $90 billion, achieving an eight-year return of over 7.5 percent.

  Cowell also believes in the power of education. She chairs the Executive Education Board of the Wharton School of Business. During her time as Treasurer, she was a member of the North Carolina Community College Board and State School Board. Prior to public service, Cowell held positions in the private sector in the U.S. and abroad. She was a securities analyst for Lehman Brothers and HSBC in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and a business consultant with Sibson & Company working with U.S. Fortune 500 companies.

  Cowell serves on the boards of James River Group Insurance (NASDAQ: JRVR), Channel Advisor (NYSE:ECOM), and international human development agency FHI360, in addition to volunteering for various non-profits. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and earned her MBA and MA in International Studies from the Wharton School of Business and the Lauder Institute.

  Senator Tamara Barringer is a wife, mother, educator, attorney, and small business owner. Working in our community to improve our quality of life, Senator Barringer recognizes that our strength as a state comes from the effort of dedicated citizens – not the government. From teaching courses in ethics, to protecting at-risk children, and fighting for better schools, her wide range of experience has given her the skills needed to make a real difference for working families in the North Carolina Senate.

  She is endorsed by the NC Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB)/North Carolina SAFE (Save America’s Fee Enterprise), and more. 

  A brief sampling of her awards:

  • Early Education Champion Award for the 2016 Legislator of the Year, from the North Carolina Child Care Coalition, (2016).

House for more than ten years, where she championed transportation, housing, infrastructure, historic preservation, ethics, voting rights, and domestic violence laws. She served both as Majority and as Minority Whip and chaired the Judiciary, Ethics and Election Laws Committees. She ran for U.S. Senate in 2016. She earned more than 2.1 million votes, travelled to more than 90 counties, was endorsed by newspapers from the mountains to the coast, and raised more than $15 million.

  
  Representative Ross serves as Counsel at Smith Moore Leatherwood, where she focuses her legal practice on meeting the economic development, energy, utilities, and infrastructure needs of communities, businesses and government. She advises businesses and governmental units about the legal, regulatory and public policy landscape and works to achieve positive results.

  Representative Ross spent more than seven years as a constitutional and civil rights attorney. She taught law as a Senior Lecturing Fellow at Duke Law School. And, she developed ethics programs and consulted with North Carolina businesses through her work with the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke.

  Representative Ross has received dozens of awards for her community service, among the most recent:

  ● Fellow, UNC Institute of Politics (2017)

  ● North Carolina Bar Association Citizen Lawyer Award (2014)

  Certainty in Uncertainty: Lessons in Leadership from a Top 500 Engineering Company Founder

  Keynote: Barbara Mulkey

  Director General Hugh Shelton Leadership Center, NC State University

  

  Change is a part of life. Sometimes it’s positive, and other times less so. But regardless of what form it comes in, you have a choice: you can either ride the wave of change, or let it crash upon you as you struggle to remain afloat. Leaders have the courage to make decisions and take action during times of change, even when the outcome remains unclear. Entrepreneurial by nature, Barbara founded Mulkey Engineers & Consultants, Inc. in 1993, an engineering consulting firm specializing in engineering and related services for both the public and private sectors. Begun at her kitchen table, the company made the list of Top 500 Engineering Companies nationally multiple times while under her leadership. Barbara attributes the company’s success to her good fortune of attracting the best and the brightest in her field to join her in her journey.

  
  Key Takeaways: Barbara will be sharing her lessons learned about successful leadership while building a business from the ground up.

  Speaker Bio:
  Barbara graduated from NC State magna cum laude in Engineering in 1977, and then completed a Master’s Degree in Structural Engineering at NC State in 1984. Entrepreneurial by nature, Barbara founded Mulkey Engineers & Consultants, Inc. in 1993, an engineering consulting firm specializing in engineering and related services for both the public and private sectors. Begun at her kitchen table, the company made the list of Top 500 Engineering Companies nationally multiple times while under her leadership. With a career foundation as a structural engineer focusing on highway bridge design, Barbara naturally placed a strong emphasis on her firm's transportation planning, design and construction services. Today she is heralded as one of the most respected transportation experts in the state, as evidenced by her induction into the NC Transportation Hall of Fame. Giving back to her profession, Barbara served as President of The American Council of Engineering Companies for the state organization as well as National Director. She was later named a Fellow by the American Society of Civil Engineers (FASCE). Barbara serves her community as a member of the Research Triangle Board of Directors, and Chairs the Triangle Universities Center for Advanced Studies Board. Among other community recognitions, Barbara was named the TBJ Legacy Leader, and she was also admitted into the Leadership Raleigh Hall of Fame. At NC State, Barbara served for eight years on the Board of Trustees, including two years as Chair. She has received the Distinguished Alumnus Award by the College of Engineering, in 2016 she was awarded the Watauga Medal, and this past year was one of the inaugural inductees into the Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering Hall of Fame. Spending time with family is Barbara’s favorite pastime, and she enjoys activities with her husband Jim, their children and their grandchildren. Barbara is a prolific reader and also enjoys playing the piano, playing racquetball, and kayaking at Topsail Beach. She is an active member of Hope Community Church in Cary, NC. Since 2016, Barbara has been the Director of the General Hugh Shelton Leadership Center at NC State University. The Center’s programs focus on building the next generation of values-based leaders at the university, as well as in corporate, government and youth organizations across the state.
