Steve - Cindy and I discussed this and we agree there is no interest to move forward from a Community Relations/HR standpoint. We wanted to pass this along to you to see if you had any interest. Thanks! amy ---------------------- Forwarded by Amy Lee/Corp/Enron on 08/02/2000 09:22 PM --------------------------- Stacy Walker @ ENRON COMMUNICATIONS 08/01/2000 04:43 PM To: Amy Lee/Corp/Enron@Enron cc: Kelly Kimberly/Enron Communications@Enron Communications Subject: Interesting Idea for Enron? Hi, Amy - Kelly Kimberly got this letter from a woman she knows who works at Harvard, in the Kennedy School of Government, for an initiative called Women Waging Peace. Enron is a supporter of WWP, and Joe Sutton is on their corporate cabinet. What do you think about her idea below, and Enron's involvement, if any? Please feel free to pass this along to others who you think might want to consider it, or who might be more appropriate to consider it. Thanks, Stacy x3-3583 I have an interesting idea that I wanted to share with you. Just last week here at the Kennedy School, I met with a woman named Susan Bird, who sits on the Women's Leadership Board of the Kennedy School. She is the Founder and President of Women.future in New York City, NY. She headed the launch of the organization (part of which was held here at KSG, the main body of which was held in NYC and telecast to KSG). It was a masterfully conceived and brilliantly orchestrated three-phase global event for businesswomen. I imagine you heard about it. Susan told me last week that one of her current, burning interests is in how women business leaders (corporate leadership across the private and public sectors) can change and influence public policy. She wants to create a public venue, invite women business leaders, and discuss the central question, "If we assume that today's global problems require more and more from the business world, would these problems look any different if women business leaders/owners were involved?" Susan and I wonder if this is something Enron (and/or potentially other corporate sponsors) would like formally to sponsor. Furthermore, Susan's company could video this executive forum, streamline the video, and link it to the Women Waging Peace Website. My sense is that it's a win-win for everyone. I told her that I would contact you and discuss the possibility. Would love to hear your thoughts first, before I engage in further conversation with Susan. If this is something in which Enron is interested, I could easily arrange a phone conversation among Swanee, Susan, you, and me in the near future to discuss the idea in greater depth. I am available for a conversation about the idea anytime, and I can be reached directly at (617) 495-8330.
