Summary
"Women have made significant progress in the national security sector, particularly in the post-9/11 era. However, significant work remains to be done to see a more diverse set of leaders throughout the departments and agencies that develop and execute U.S. national security policy. The start of a new administration presents an opportunity to set the tone for the future of the national security workforce. As the president builds and maintains his new team, he should take great care to represent a diversity of expertise and experience in order to deliver the critical security the nation has entrusted to him. He should further build on the programs and initiatives developed since 9/11 under both the Bush and Obama administrations to attract and retain the most highly qualified individuals and continue to structure a system that works for both national security demands and the needs of individual employees and their families"--Publisher's web site
