A record year for Fortune 500 Women CEOs!

This year 44 women are running Fortune 500 companies, up from 41 last year. It's certainly progress, but only 8.8% of the largest companies are women-led.

There is still much more work to be done.

Congrats to @LauraClaireModi and @bobbiebabyco for a remarkable year 1🙌 I wish I had access to Bobbie when my two boys were infants!

[bobbiebabyco @bobbiebabyco]

The best part about growing Bobbie is giving parents the trust and confidence they have been waiting for in an infant formula. We are proud of our product and proud to support parents in their feeding journey with an USDA organic formula, founded by moms. https://t.co/NRb2hF3ZaG

@Megan_Leonhardt Thank you for highlighting the lived reality of childcare providers. I'd love to share how home-based care supports providers making a living wage. I'll email you @Megan_Leonhardt!

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

Home daycare is the future: it empowers providers to earn a living wage and helps families find childcare in their neighborhoods🏠👶

[Megan Leonhardt @Megan_Leonhardt]

16,000 childcare providers shut down in the pandemic. That’s a really big deal for American families who may face higher costs and businesses struggling to find workers https://t.co/bRH40Q1czU

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

@karaemiller Thanks for sharing this, @karaemiller I have some more thoughts about how childcare can solve this wage gap. I'll email you!📩

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

What's the solution? High-quality, affordable childcare so women don't need to have a ‘greedy job’ dilemma🍼

Thanks @karaemiller for highlighting this shocking and unfortunate wage gap.

[Kara Miller @karaemiller]

For highly-educated women, the gap can be shocking:

Similar to the average male/female wage gap in 1960.

That should get our attention.

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

So excited for this partnership with @The_Mom_Project 😍 We're committed to employing & supporting working moms.

[NeighborSchools @NeighborSchools]

We are proud to announce our partnership with @The_Mom_Project, a digital talent marketplace and community connecting professionally accomplished women with world-class companies for rewarding employment opportunities✨

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

@thier_jane @FortuneMagazine I just DM'd you!

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

@jackiemader Haha this is incredible!

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

@javelynibarra @NeighborSchools @The_Mom_Project Thanks, @javelynibarra!

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

Child care is simply not working, for both families and providers. Home daycare addresses the supply-side issue of childcare, while also empowering providers to become financially independent.

@anya1anya and @NPR show us the dire need for solutions in child care.

[NPR @NPR]

Parents and caregivers of kids under 5 — who are too young to be vaccinated — are in a special kind of hell right now.

There are nonstop quarantines. Confusing health guidance. Not enough rapid tests. And too few substitute teachers.

@ravensnook @SheKnows Thanks for sharing the lived reality of parenting during covid. Would love to share how @NeighborSchools is making child care better, especially for working moms. I will email you!

[Bridget Garsh @bridgetgarsh]

Imagine a world where working moms could find affordable, quality childcare in their neighborhoods. Solving the childcare crisis is one step to supporting working moms.

Thanks @ravensnook for putting numbers behind the reality of pandemic parenting!👏

[ravensnook @ravensnook]

As a working mom, I always feel a bit frazzled, but after 2 years of pandemic parenting I am completely burnt out. For @SheKnows I looked at #pandemicparenting by the numbers & it's not just me (or you!) We are struggling, but there's also hope: https://t.co/03xxKIGQMo
