We will never ever forget it. And from me personally, the opportunity of meeting Billie Jean King was one of my wildest dreams come true. As I write, I am in NY experiencing the US Open Tennis Championships 2008, something I only saw on TV and visited in my dreams. And I have had the opportunity to meet Billie Jean again and have been cordially welcomed to her WTT suite in Arthur Ashe stadium! The Mentoring program of which I was a participant in 2008, facilitated this, and I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude to you, Pattie, Dina, Fortune and the State Department and of course, Vital Voices. Thank you very much. Hi Pattie,

Let's hope this leads to a new generation of women holding more powerful positions in businesses both in the U.S. and around the world. I especially hope this makes a difference in the tech world, where women are so under-represented but where there will be many opportunities for women in the years and decades ahead, especially as tech and media continue to overlap in new and exciting ways. Pattie,

It is wonderful that you – and Fortune – have started such an inspiring mentor program. Let’s hope this leads to a new generation of women holding more powerful positions in businesses both in the U.S. and around the world.

I was a mentee this year and was particularly inspired by all the women we met, but also by you and by Dina who did not hesitate to think of what they can do to empower other women. I did not realize that I have a role for empowering other women, but when came back I decided to nominate myself to the board elections of the Palestinian Business Women Forum and won. I now have an agenda and a plan to work on capitalizing on all the wonderful ideas we gathered from the program and from meeting with all the great women leaders. Our participation reflected how much we can have in common and how much we can do together.
