posted 5/17/2010 - 0 Comments | Share Post

This evening NBC Nightly News will profile our forum partner Vital Voices for their "Making a Difference" segment. Tune in to watch Academy Award-winning actress and Vital Voices board member Sally Field talking about the work to identify, invest in and bring visibility to extraordinary women leaders around the world. The broadcast will also feature The FORTUNE/U.S. State Department Global Women's Mentoring Partnership - a program pairing America's most accomplished women leaders in business with aspiring women professionals and entrepreneurs around the globe. This year, the World Bank is participating for the first time as co-mentor jointly with Ernst & Young and Goldman Sachs. We have had the pleasure to welcome two mentees - Hussan Bano Burki from Pakistan and Detoun Ogwo from Nigeria, whose official mentor has been the World Bank Managing Director Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
