This short video captures highlights from the 2014 American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. At the invitation of Nancy Foye-Cox and with support from Sally Gutierrez, I moderated a wisdom circle of women ASPA leaders. I also attended the keynote by Dr. Bernice Sandler, "the godmother of Title IX," and celebrated Nancy Foye-Cox receiving the Marcia P. Crowley Award for service to the Section on Women in Public Administration (SWPA).

Our shared friendship—mine, Sally's, and Nancy's—exemplifies the power of women supporting women in the workplace, challenging the notion that they do not. The video features music, *Frammenti*, by Andrea Carri.
