Frederick's female powerThe Gazette asked several women in leadership positions throughout Frederick County to comment about what it means to be a woman leader in 2008, the difference it makes in our community and the keys to being a successful female leader. ‘‘Thirty years ago the trend was that men were in nonprofit leadership positions and women were the direct service providers underneath their leadership. Now we’re finding ... that women are often the leaders ... It doesn’t even cause comment that women are in nonprofit leadership [now]. I think that’s a real progression that we’ve made in the nonprofit world.” Elizabeth Y. Day, 49, of Middletown; president, The Community Foundation of Frederick County Inc. ‘‘I think it’s vitally important for women to be in leadership roles and elected positions and I certainly feel proud to serve in a supervisory position in the sheriff’s office. Women ... provide alternate perspectives in the decision-making process.” Cpl. Jennifer Bailey, 38, of Washington County; spokeswoman, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office ‘‘Both sexes ... bring different perspectives. Just based on who we are and how we think of things, the way we analyze. I think women tend to bring ... a more holistic perspective to whatever they’re approaching. They’re going to look at a lot of facets. In any kind of arena ... women tend to build the relationship first and then conduct the business after. We want to know who we’re doing business with.” Shabri Moore, 50, of Frederick; president, Moore Wealth Inc.
