31 Days of Notable Women- Mary Schapiro, Securities & Exchange Commission

Mary Schapiro, the current Chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, resides in Washington,DC. Her educational background is as follows: BA/BS from Franklin & Marshall College; JD from George Washington University.

Schapiro has spent much of the year trying to overcome the results of past lax regulatory enforcement. From excavating the Bernie Madoff fraud to investigating the ratings agencies’ possible role in the financial crisis, Schapiro is striving to bring order to the most important financial-regulatory house in the world. Most recently she enjoyed a victory: the passage of a long-sought, though somewhat controversial, rule that allows shareholders to have influence over the makeup of a public company’s board of directors.

Looking for modern day women inventors….

As many of you may know, during Women’s History month in March I blog every day about amazing but unheralded women who are inventors, artists, writers, political leaders, scientists, pilots, world leaders, doctors, astronomers and authors. These are women who have made history but not gotten the acclaim they deserve. I call the blog “31 Days of Notable Women”.

Here’s your chance to be glorified! If you are (or know of) a woman whose time has come, please email me at rosefirewalker@aol.com so I can give you the attention you so justly deserve. I’ll need time to research and write your short bio, so let’s get the ball rolling.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you amazing women,
Diane Tegarden
