Dear Vision 2020 Supporter:
As we complete the fourth year of our national initiative to achieve women’s
economic and social equality by the year 2020, we have much progress to share with you.
Most striking in the year ending June 30 has been the growth of our connections
across the nation. With active delegates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia,
Vision 2020 is increasing its visibility daily. With 65 National and Regional Allies,
organizations whose combined membership includes more than 20 million women and
girls, we are collaborating to engage many more voices in the call for women’s equality.
The Third National Congress was held in November in Portland OR, which was
celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in that state. Vision 2020
Delegates and National Allies from across the country reviewed successes and
developed strategies to reach Vision 2020 goals to increase women in senior leadership
positions, to achieve pay equity, and to promote family-friendly workplace policies, voter
mobilization and civic engagement.
“She Flies With Her Own Wings,” the Oregon motto, was the theme of an
evening event that attracted an overflow crowd from the region, where we honored
former Gov. Barbara Roberts and documentary film-maker Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
A highlight of our year surely was our announcement in April at the National
Constitution Center that, in the year 2020, Philadelphia will be host city for the nation’s
centennial celebration of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.
Our continuing momentum is made possible by the unwavering support of our
Sponsors, especially The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company and Drexel University,
which have believed and invested in Vision 2020 since its inception.
The year ahead promises to be one of action, growth and increased collaboration.
We’re glad you’re with us!
Equality in Sight,

Our History
When Vision 2020 was first imagined in 2009, it was a big dream—women's equality
by 2020—with a small team of people to help make it a reality. The Vision 2020 core
Team—Founder and Co-Chair Lynn Yeakel, Co-Chair Rosemarie B. Greco and
Project Director Catherine Ormerod—began building a structure to share their vision
of women's equality on a national stage.
In 2010, Vision 2020 was launched by its Founding Sponsors, Drexel University and
Drexel University College of Medicine, and its Presenting Sponsor, The Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company, which shared a commitment to women's leadership.
Delegates were selected from all 50 states and powerful women's organizations across
the country became the first of Vision 2020's National Allies.
Supporters embraced Vision 2020's goal to achieve women's equality by the year
2020, 100 years after the suffragists won the right to vote, and the momentum began.
In 2010, Vision 2020 held the First National Congress at the National Constitution
Center in Philadelphia and began a national Conversation about Women and
Leadership. It commissioned a Women’s History exhibition, funded by McDonald’s,
and an Educators’ Guide for middle school teachers, which includes historical
information on women.
In 2011, five national goals were set for the decade, and Vision 2020 Delegates began
developing and implementing State Initiatives to advance these goals. At the Second
National Congress in Chicago, the Vision 2020 Delegates, National Allies and
Leadership established strategies and benchmarks to reach the goals and laid the
foundation for the collaboration that will ensure success.
In 2012, Vision 2020 Delegates began to implement their State Initiatives to advance
women’s equality. They held public seminars to encourage women to run for elected
office; they developed a program to support women veterans; and they proclaimed
success for an initiative to erase the gender gap in gubernatorial appointments to state
boards and commissions.
The Third National Congress, in Portland OR highlighted Vision 2020 collaborations
with 65 National Allies and inspired determination to work in tandem to advance
women’s economic and social equality.

Our Commitment

Strategic Directions
In the Spring of 2013, Vision 2020 engaged its many stakeholders in a Strategic
Visioning process, reviewing the past five years while looking forward to 2020 and
planning for the next three years. The responses to a stakeholders’ survey
revealed strong endorsements of Vision 2020’s direction and commitment to achieving
equality by the year 2020.
The Vision 2020 Leadership Circle embraced the goal “50-50 by 2020.”
The Strategic Directions call for:
Expansion of engaged and active Delegates from 102 to 180, reflecting state
demographics, by July 2014.
Development of a concentrated campaign to attract a significant percentage of
men as Vision 2020 individual members.
Engagement of the National Allies by building a formidable, cohesive group
under each Vision 2020 goal, aligning the strengths of many.
Replication of successful Delegates’ State Initiatives across the country. Based
on the track record and early successes, new Vision 2020 Delegates may
choose to replicate models that:
Increase women in senior leadership positions in government
Recruit, engage and educate women for civic engagement
Provide mentorship opportunities;
Engage statewide audiences in conferences that promote the goals and
actions that will accelerate women’s advancement.

2012-2013 Highlights
In June 2013, in response to an invitation from the University of Edinburgh,
Vision 2020 took its message abroad to Edinburgh, Scotland, where Founder
and Co-Chair Lynn Yeakel moderated a panel discussion on “The Impact of
Women’s Leadership in Global Conflict” at Scottish Parliament. This
discussion was a part of a three-day conference, “Women and Warfare: From
Troy to the Trenches,” at the University of Edinburgh.
In April 2013, Vision 2020 held a press conference
with support of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter
and the National Constitution Center announcing
Philadelphia as the host of the nation’s Centennial
Celebration of the 19th Amendment, which
granted women the right to vote.
Vision 2020 led two panel discussions on
Title IX, part of 1972 federal legislation that
bans sex discrimination at educational
institutions and that has allowed millions of
women and girls to participate in sports for
over 40 years.

In September 2012, Vision 2020
partnered with the Drexel
University Athletic Department in,
“Beyond Athletics:
A Conversation About Title IX
and Sexual Misconduct.”

During the Vision 2020 Third
National Congress in Portland,
OR, the Title IX panel discussion
was shared with National
Delegates, Allies and other supporters.
In August 2012, Vision 2020 National Advisor and University of Miami President
Donna Shalala wrote an op-ed urging more women to vote in upcoming elections. The
piece circulated to combined readership of 3.4 million.

Message of the Month
Vision 2020 National Office provides Delegates with
timely communication tools each month. For example,
for Women’s History Month in March, Vision 2020 noted
only nine statues of women are among the 100 Americans
honored by the 50 states in National Statuary Hall in the
U.S. Capitol. Delegates from the nine states blogged on
these foremothers’ legacy. In an online poll, voters
overwhelmingly chose suffragist Alice Paul to be
honored and join Rosa Parks’ statue, if another woman
receives this national recognition.
Delegates were also encouraged to identify other statues
of women leaders in their states and use social media to
draw attention to these women’s achievements.
Vision 2020 Delegate poses in
Laramie, WY, with the statue of
Louisa Swain, the first woman in
the nation to vote under laws giving women equality with men.
