In Las Vegas, following the bombshell scandal surrounding the alleged sexual misconduct of billionaire Steve Wynn, Wynn Resorts named Marilyn Spiegel president of its two Strip casinos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Spiegel is just the third female to oversee a Strip casino. The first was Claudine Williams, who ran the Holiday Inn-Holiday Casino until it was sold in the 1980s. The other is Eileen More, current regional president of Caesars’ Flamingo, Linq, and Cromwell.<\/p>\n
According to the Center for American Progress (CAP), “American women lag substantially behind men in terms of their representation in leadership positions.” But progress is being made \u2013 albeit slowly.<\/p>\n
\nCAP reports in its 2018 Women’s Leadership Gap study, “In 1980, there were no women in the top executive ranks of the Fortune 100 companies; by 2001, 11 percent of those corporate leaders were women.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Women’s share of board seats in S&P 1500 companies increased 94 percent between 1997 to 2009. The share of companies with female CEOs increased more than sixfold during that same period. But more work needs to be done.<\/p>\n
CAP summarizes, “Women have outnumbered men on college campuses since 1988.\u00a0They have earned at least one-third of law degrees since 1980\u00a0and accounted for one-third of medical school students by 1990.\u00a0Yet, they have not moved up to positions of prominence and power in America at anywhere near the rate that should have followed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
