Women speakers-on sustainability, cycling, etc.

[shootingstar]

Would be interested to hear of suggestions for names of women who could draw an international presence and who have decision-making power to steer vision, large capital infrastructure investments, executive authority/presence who could meet the following criteria:

*dynamic, charismatic speaker
*but also have a track record of managing and steering large captial infrastructure investments or building of communities either politically or through coalition building at state, national or international level
*can speak in a visionary way that integrates cycling, sustainable cities, growth, etc.

This demonstrates the problem of visibility at a senior decision-making level, but that is the level we are pitching for.

For instance the New York City Transportation Commission Janette Sadik-Khan is a person of that type of charisma and vision.

Non-North American women are more than welcome! (I wish Jane Jacobs was still alive...She was Canadian.) Yes, you can suggest a woman who may have been a former politician. For municipalities, it should be a large metropolitan area.

You can also pm me.
