Congratulations to Gloria Bonder on New Membership!

Exciting news: Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO, has invited our colleague Gloria Bonder to become a member of the Broadband Commission for Digital Development. Gloria coordinates the Global Network of UNESCO Chairs on Gender, on which BU/WGS represents North America.

The Broadband Commission has adopted an ambitious goal, that "countries around the world should strive to ensure that their populations fully participate in tomorrow's emerging knowledge societies".

As Gloria says, this honor is also an opportunity to raise awareness among decision makers about gender issues, and encourage them to define and implement policies and programs addressing gender equality in the Information/Knowledge Society.
