United States Representative Niki Tsongas was the featured speaker at yesterday’s Women’s Network Breakfast.  Congresswoman Tsongas led a discussion before a room of Chamber members eager to hear her thoughts on the economy and the new administration that will inhabit Washington in January.  Not only did Tsongas provide insight on the economy and globalization, but she focused on the increasing number of women in Congress and the positive implications.  In conjunction with a recent Chamber report indicating the state’s diminishing competitive edge in workforce talent, Congresswoman Tsongas stressed the importance of education for talent retention.  She also restated her commitment to health care cost control and the possibility of national reform under the Obama administration. 

This event was covered by the Boston Herald, and can be heard in its entirety this Sunday, November 23, at 8:00pm on WBUR 90.9.
