DESCRIPTION:Irene Natividad, President of the Global Summit of Women, contends that 
 women are the most significant players in the global economy. Governments' 
 efforts to create sustainable economies and corporations' ability to 
 project future growth globally will depend on the extent to which they 
 respond to the needs of women as workers, consumers and entrepreneurs.  
 Natividad states that “women's aggregate economic clout poses a shift in 
 the argument for positive change affecting women -- from one based on need 
 to one based on power.”  The Global Summit of Women is a 14-year-old 
 annual gathering of women leaders in the public and private sector. Ms. 
 Natividad also co-chairs Corporate Women Directors International, which 
 promotes the increased participation of women on corporate boards globally. 
 She runs a Washington D.C-based public affairs firm, Globewomen, Inc, and 
 is a frequent commentator on news and analysis television programs and has 
 written for many national newspapers. Ms. Natividad is former chair of the 
 National Commission on Working Women  Background:  The International Museum 
 of Women (IMOW) is hosting a series of lectures by women from around the 
 world who have important ideas concerning the future. The series provides 
 an open forum for the exchange of ideas, opinions and perspectives from 
 some of the most influential social activists of our time.   This is the 
 second event in the series. In January, celebrated author Riane Eisler was 
 the series’ inaugural speaker.  IMOW is a world-class cultural and 
 educational institution dedicated to honoring the lives of women worldwide. 
 It plans to open in 2008 at Pier 26 in San Francisco. Founded in 1985, IMOW 
 produces exhibits and events that engage people of all ages – provoking 
 them to question the status quo through an examination of individual 
 identity, cultural structures and social order. Our mission is to value the 
 lives of women around the world.  For more information, visit
