Jessica Notwell
Vice President, World Wide YWCA

Jessica Notwell focuses on the importance of inter-generational leadership as a framework for involving young women. She says that the global challenges faced by women cuts through diversities, including generational differences. As such, solutions to these issues must likewise be dealt with intergenerationally. In this panel she shares how the World Wide, YWCA has been able to increase participation of young women through a framework of intergenrational leadership, which she says is an ongoing process of providing opportunities to share as equals, respecting experiences that everyone brings to the table, continuing dialogues about hopes, challenges and aspirations; and having space for mistakes.
