Notes from the Editor: February 2012 at-a-glance. The Levo League has been bustling with development in the past few months, and we’re gearing up to provide you more ways to invest in yourself— whether by connecting with one another and also with companies committed to achieving parity in the workplace, or by learning about and interacting with titans of industry to benefit from their support and insights. February is a month chock-full of events— in film, music, and fashion, as well as in tech— going from Sadie Hawkins Day (today!) all the way up to Leap Day. Here are some of our themes for the month that I’m most looking forward to being able to share with The Levo League and to interact with you on: Find the Love of Your Work Life! We’ll be kicking off a series of interactive features powered by Mightybell and contributed by fabulous Levo Leaguers like Kristen Walker, author of September’s Let Work Teach You How to Play. These features are designed to help you connect with your core skills and passions, and to help you fill in the blanks and to help you sort through your career strategy. Women Leaders in Music & Film We’ll be bringing you perspectives and interviews with women in the spotlight— and shine our own light on those women in the music and film industries who have taken the opportunity to leverage their celebrity into for-good enterprises. Women & the Business of Fashion We all know the fashion industry is huge— and glamorous— but in light of New York Fashion Week, the Levo League will focus on providing you with context around just how big and how complex the industry truly is. We’ll sit down with women in the industry to give you the full picture of Fashion Week. Social Media Week + The Levo League !  We’ve always been big Social Media Week fans. This year’s SMW will be held between February 13 and 17th, and this year we are proud to announce that The Levo League’s co-founder Amanda Pouchot will be representing our cause and our network by moderating a panel called Untapped Drive: How innovation and entrepreneurship are revolutionizing daily life through social media & technology platforms. It’ll be an interesting discussion of how technology has impacted the female labor force in the United States. Add it to your calendar and make sure to send in your thoughts on the issue so we can represent our network of young ambitious professional women! I can’t wait for us to share all of these things with you and to interact in debate with all of you on the issues that are going to end up thrust into the spotlight in the coming month. ——————————————————————————————- And just in case you missed them during the past month, here are my favorite Levo features from January: The all-new Ms. JD Corner: where women in business and law discuss issues pertinent to both industries. Our inaugural post features the insightful Katherine Larkin-Wong, with Why Women in Business and Women in Law Need Each Other. Levo’s Next Step: Looking for more background on our vision for the female professional community? Read, reflect, respond, and get involved with the League!  mindCrush : One of our favorite games here at the Levo League is to hypothesize how successful women in various fields go about problem-solving and strategy. We call this game “mindCrush”— probably mostly because we only guess at the thought patterns of women whose brains are amazing for one reason or another. January’s mindCrush features our hypothetical take on Jessica Simpson— namely, the moment she decided that pursuing acting and singing was not her long-term career preference. A Seat at the Table: A Twitter-ful list of women crucial to foreign policy. Elmira Bayrasli, the indescribable force of a writer, compiled this list for those of us who want to help change the world but don’t know who to look to in the way of role models. Madame Ambassador: In January, Angeline Jolie released her film, set during the Bosnian War of the 1990s, In the Land of Blood and Honey. I had the opportunity to view the film and speak briefly with some of the people involved in the project, and share my thoughts here. Keeping reading and keep writing in to us to share your thoughts and perspectives over the next month. It’s an exciting time, both for our own platform and for the state of women’s equality in the workplace. So don’t stop chiming in and making your voice heard— both here on the site and out there in the world. We are glad to count you as part of The Levo League!
