I am working on problem solving regarding being part of a leadership group in which I frequently am the only female. This does not bother me in terms of my work and my boss, the executive director, is great with supervision. Gender is more apparent when we are in a meeting either just the leadership group or the leadership team plus outside agencies or companies which frequently I am still the only female. I have no issues presenting information and making decisions. There does seem to be a difference in the way I am addressed versus my male colleagues. I am also aware that one of the male directors that I supervise makes 20% more than I do. I have a higher degree and I am his supervisor yet he makes more.
