Stacey Franklin Jones Encourages Women to Take Leadership Roles, Inspire Younger Generations

The lack of female role models in popular culture, particularly political spheres, is alarming. Stacey Franklin Jones encourages successful women to serve as role models and foster the efforts of up and coming professionals to achieve their goals.

2012-08-14
NEW YORK, NY, August 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) The lack of female leadership in the world, particularly in the realm of politics, is conspicuous. According to The Huffington Post, this deficit of female leadership is all too clear in the recent attempt of three high school students to secure a female moderator for one of the 2012 presidential debates. Virtually ignored by the political system, they quickly found that no strong female role models were available to assist them with their endeavor. Stacey Franklin Jones, an experienced higher education and corporate executive, believes that this lack of female leadership is troublesome.

According to the article, a woman has not moderated a presidential debate since 1992. Emma Axelrod, Elena Tsemberis, and Sammi Siegel posted a petition to Change.org in an effort to gain support for their initiative to secure a woman to moderate one of the three upcoming presidential debates. Despite gaining over 116,000 signatures for their petition and alerting the Commission on Presidential Debates regarding the fact that they would be brining the petition to its office, the girls were not received by the Commission. The office turned them away and would not allow them to leave the flash drives with the petition signatures for review.

The girls did not give up. Instead, they turned their attention to the Obama and Romney campaigns. They provided a second petition, with over 53,000 signatures, that was also ignored.

This story, which has generated a great deal of attention online, underscores the lack of leadership in today's society. These students, who were treated disrespectfully and snubbed by the very system that they have been taught to trust, do not have a strong role model to look up to. More specifically, these girls do not have a strong female role model to show them that change can happen.

"Young women who pursue leadership as an opportunity to serve others for the greater good are treasures," states Stacey Franklin Jones. "It is the duty and responsibility of every seasoned, successful woman to assure that they are inspired, supported, and encouraged to persevere."

Stacey Franklin Jones hopes that this story calls attention to the continued need of female role models in today's world. Young women in today's society do not have as many strong female role models as in past eras. And with the world becoming increasingly globalized, and women supposedly enjoying a higher degree of equality, this is a major issue.
