Elegance Digital Magazine Volume 1 | Page 4

Changing Roles! Having come from the corporate world, going thru downsizing and lay offs, I was dealing with many different feelings. Not being ready to “retire”, I was partially searching for something to get involved in. That is when Judy Musgrove, Publisher of “Elegance” approached me. She explained what her concept was, and wanted to know if I would like to get involved! I didn’t even have to think about it! I was like a fish floundering in the water - do I jump in or do I stay back? “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.” This magazine is to inspire, encourage, educate and support all of you fantastic women out there! Ginny Macko, Editor William Arthur Ward “What’s On Your Mind” In keeping with the theme of “Elegance”, the new digital magazine that will showcase strong, forward thinking women in all walks of life, we want to hear from you on topics that you are passionate about. As this is our first publication, we are throwing out several questions for your comments, but if you have other thoughts to share, please do so. This column will appear in each issue of Elegance. Our goal is to bring the female point of view to women in politics, juggling home and work, women entrepreneurs, health and wellness and education issues.  It is known that Hillary Clinton may run for the Presidency in 2016. Let me know why you think our country needs / or doesn’t need a Female President.  There are many reports out there stating that women are still paid a lower wage than their male counterpart doing the exact same job - what can we do to stop this and create an environment to encourage and support women to advance?  Explain why the age 50+ workers - are being forced out of the workforce because the younger worker feels threatened?  Women are blazing trails all of the time, however, what do you feel are some of the main issues that women face in reaching a higher level?
