CTVV Visits with Barbara H. Franklin, Former Secretary of Commerce

Barbara Hackman Franklin has been heralded by one media commentator as "the grand dame of government governance".

In fact she has not only been a major contributor to the United States long term international commerce stability but a leader in diverse financial and corporate industries and tapped by former President Nixon to bring more qualified women into high level, policy-making government positions resulting in a broad spectrum of representation in administrative, national security (FBI) and at the levels of generals and admirals in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Join Susan Regan, Host of CT Valley Views with a personal overview of Mrs. Franklin’s career accomplishments from her early corporate board assignments to her appointment by President George H.W. Bush as the 29th Secretary of Commerce and subsequent 13th woman to serve in the U.S. Cabinet.

A formidable portfolio of achievement by any standard and of particular note as a extraordinary role model for today’s women.
