Cassandra Kelly - Global Board Director, Top 10 Australian Chair, US Director to Watch, Founding Member of EU Global Tech Panel "Since 1991, I have worked with young people in over 70 countries. Once they understand the problems, once we listen to their voices, once we empower them to act, their energy and determination is amazing. They are our greatest hope for the future. We must encourage them to believe in themselves and grow into leaders in their chosen way of life. This includes a position in the boardroom.
