The National Space Council hosted the Women in Space Roundtable on Monday, March 12, and the center’s deputy director, Laurie Grindle, of NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, was there to welcome to the Second Gentleman, Mr. Douglas Emhoff, and moderate a panel discussion.
NASA has partnered with the National Space Council and our private partners to invest in creating the workforce needed to support the growing private space sector. The Space Council, along with the vice president as president, has been an important voice in the White House on how NASA’s work directly benefits the lives of people here on Earth, from addressing climate change to creating good-paying jobs and inspire the next generation.
The discussion included Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, National Space Council Chief of Staff Tahara Dawkins, and Cal Poly Pomona student Ericka Ontiveros, while moderated by Grindle. The panel shared their experience and thoughts with the group on a wide range of topics related to women in space. The event was hosted by the South Bay Workforce Investment Board in Hawthorne, California.
