Crucial or passé?

Arizona women dominate in far more than politics, but some ask ‘What else is new?’

By Kyle A. Porter
Arizona Capitol Times Correspondent

Arizona has led the country in numbers of high-profile women leaders: four women governors — three of them in succession — as well as many women in other elected statewide offices.

And in recent years, women have risen to the highest levels in most other important field of public policy in Arizona – education, law, health, business and journalism, among others.

The leaders range from Ann Weaver Hart, new president of the University of Arizona, to Amy Hillman, recently appointed dean of the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, to Rebecca White Berch, chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court.

They include Eileen Klein, appointed a year ago as president of the Arizona Board of Regents, Rebekah Friend, executive director and secretary-treasurer of the Arizona AFL-CIO and Suzanne Pfister, new CEO of St. Luke’s Health Initiatives.

Many of the top leaders view Arizona as having an open environment conducive to women participating in public policy. But others say it’s no longer news when top public policy jobs in the state are held by women.

Darcy Olsen, 42, president and CEO of the Goldwater Institute since 2006, says her generation feels the topic “is a little retro.” Olsen says Arizona has had so many inspiring women leaders that it’s almost passé to mention it.

“Many women want to be singled out for their leadership, not because they’re female,” Olsen says.

Cathi Herrod, 56, president of the Center for Arizona Policy, agrees.

“I find it irritating, candidly. I think we’re past the time that we need to focus on women in public policy. I consider myself a former feminist, but now I think ‘so what,’’’ she said. “I think women have no limits on what they can achieve in public policy. Women are being looked at on their merits, on their talents, on their abilities.”

Others believe there is still a need to acknowledge the leaders in their ranks and the women who have gone before them.

Suzanne Pfister, CEO of St. Luke’s Health Initiative, appreciates the historical perspective of recognizing women in top leadership positions.

“It’s good to step back and celebrate women in public policy,” Pfister says, “Arizona has a history of allowing forward-thinking women to have a place in that.”

Pfister, 56, became CEO at St. Luke’s after 10 years as vice president of external affairs for Dignity Health Arizona, which operates St. Joseph’s Hospital and other area hospitals. Her family has roots in Arizona going back four generations. She says the women in her family have always been involved in the political process.

“Even when we were a territory, we had a large, active suffragette movement,” Pfister says. “Because we have that history, it’s good to look at that perspective of women in public policy.”

Rebekah Friend, executive director and secretary-treasurer of the Arizona AFL-CIO, says we’re still going through a learning curve on women’s role in society and policy making.

“Where I think it’s most important is for younger women to see the potential for themselves,” Friend says.

Olsen also says it’s important for girls and young women to see a group that looks like them to have as role models, so singling out women in public policy has a positive purpose.

Friend has served in leadership with the AFL-CIO since 2002, and was active in the local International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers as an employee of Arizona Public Service. She likes the focus on women in leadership roles because she’s interested in what other women are working on.

“For me it’s always the back story,” she says. “How did you get there? How did you end up advocating for that?”

Arizona open to women and newcomers

Several of the leaders cited an openness in the culture of Arizona. Pfister says Arizona generally has a more open environment that is accepting of newcomers and more open to women.

Nancy Welch, 59, is vice-president of the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership at the Flinn Foundation in Phoenix. She says you could move to this state at any time and become engaged in civic affairs with minimal barriers.

“I think the reason we’ve had so many women in top positions is because Arizona is a very open state. Independent is another way to look at it,” Welch says.

Olsen, who directs an organization formed in tribute to a leader from a family of Arizona pioneers, Barry Goldwater, says the state’s historical arc – being founded by pioneers, with people taking risks and pushing the boundaries of what was known – has attracted independent-minded voters.

They “are not going to be restricted by gender,” Olsen says. “It doesn’t surprise me that statistically we’ve had more women in powerful roles than other states.”

Alessandra Soler, 37, is executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona. She also sees a “rich history of libertarianism in the state” and an intent to “keep government out of our lives,” with women at the forefront.

Solutions for the common good

Public policy is defined by Welch as problem solving, “bringing solutions for the common good, in the state or city – whatever you are working on.”

Others define it in different terms.

Friend is sometimes invited to speak to school children. Rather than calling herself a lobbyist who works in public policy, she describes herself as a sludge pusher.

“I get up every day and I push sludge. Some days the sludge moves, and that’s a really good day. Some days the sludge rolls over me and it’s not such a good day,’’ she says.

Women who work to craft public policy are aware that they bring their own experiences to the table.

Friend says, “What I bring to the table in making public policy is everything that comes behind me — being a single mom, balancing a budget.

“It may be a generalization, but sometimes women are consensus builders, more inclusive. Women are statistically still the primary care givers of both children and elderly parents, so I think we bring all of that to the table.”

Soler believes women are more interested in consensus building. She cites Gov. Jan Brewer’s effort to gain support for Medicaid expansion this year.

Ann Weaver Hart is the first woman president in the 120-year history of the University of Arizona. It was Arizona’s first college and open to male and female students from the beginning. Hart says she sees a difference in women’s style of collaboration.

“At the table, when major policy decisions are made, I think it’s incredibly important that we recognize differences of approach and opinion, even if I have the same policy perspective as my male counterpart,” Hart says.

Pfister thinks women are better listeners, as well as collaborators.

“It’s not exclusive to women, but women have that gene – willing to work together, negotiate in life,” Pfister says.

For Welch, women may approach problem solving in a slightly different way, “but I don’t think decision making is different.”

But Olsen says that the idea of women as consensual leaders, more sensitive to family life, is a stereotype.

“Maybe we have a little more biological empathy, but I would say there’s tremendous variation,” Olsen says. “Too many men and women beat the stereotypes, in my experience, for them to hold.”

The elephant in the room

Olsen does think that motherhood is the “elephant in the room” when discussing women’s roles in leadership.

“We’ve discussed women in leadership, but we haven’t discussed the big difference, which is motherhood,” Olsen says. “The reason that there are differences in representations of women in public policy or corporations or anything else today is, I would contend, because of the decisions we are making.”

Olsen says women are finding happiness combining work and motherhood, “and it’s not a dichotomy anymore.”

She has two adopted children of toddler age as a single mother and she is a foster parent. She now has an infant in her care.

“I am a CEO four out of seven days a week.” In her organization, “We make it work and people are flexible,’’ she says, adding, “This is not the only place like that.”

Soler also has three young children and is a single mother. She stresses the need for public policy to address the needs of many women who are single parents and have issues with child care and income gaps.

“Increasing numbers of women are breadwinners and heads of household. These are public policy issues we need to work on,’’ she says.

Olsen sees technological advancements empowering women and men to make the kind of decisions that earlier generations would only have dreamed of.

“I can be feeding a baby while conducting business on the phone,” she says. “I think that’s really a revolution.”

Friend and Hart agree that the role of motherhood informs the issues and involvement of women. Friend says she had a fire in her to take care of her family as a single mom, which fueled her rise in union leadership. Hart says choices about family issues are no easier today than they were 50 years ago.

Striving for diversity

The interests and work of women span all areas of policy making.

Welch’s center at the Flinn Foundation develops leadership candidates from around the state. The idea for the center arose from the depth of the recession, she says, and the center has been operating its academy for only three years. In collaboration with the Thomas R. Brown Foundation in Tucson, the Flinn Foundation seeks out 25 individuals twice each year to attend seminars organized by Welch and her staff. She says they strive for diversity of background, ethnicity, political points of view, as well as gender for each cohort.

She says it’s important for the whole society to “use the talents of every possible person in Arizona to their full potential.”

Seminars focus on issues that are timely, Welch says, including all aspects of health care, water and energy, K-12 and higher education, transportation infrastructure, and tribal and intergovernmental relationships.

Pfister has focused on health care issues at Dignity Health and now at St Luke’s Health Initiative. But, she explains, SLHI is about health in a broader sense than medical health.

“We’re working on healthy streets, incorporating the environment to include transportation, air quality, water conservation and energy conservation,” she says.

Pfister calls their work capacity building – training nonprofits to operate efficiently and meet their goals. One element is a technical assistance program, TAP, to help nonprofit organizations succeed in their work. SLHI came out of the privatization of St. Luke’s Hospital in 1995. Evolving to its name today, the St Luke’s trust has $110 million in assets to fund its mission. Pfister says they have given $70 million in grants since turning to the work of nonprofit assistance.

In her work at the state Capitol and sometimes in national politics, Friend represents 185,000 union members in Arizona. Approximately 30 percent of them are women, she says. Out of the bills introduced in the Legislature this year, Friend says her organization will take an interest in most of them due to the varied interests of different unions and their workers, from airline workers to nurses, police and firemen to electrical workers. While she can’t represent every point of view in the coalition’s membership, Friend believes issues she has worked on reflect what people care about. That includes two years working with a group of interested parties from business and labor on unemployment insurance legislation before helping to get a law passed. And, in 2006 she lobbied for an initiative that raised Arizona’s minimum wage.

“People know when policy is beneficial, and I think they want it to be beneficial for everybody,” Friend says, “When we passed minimum wage legislation, there was a consensus on the issue — people just got it.”

Herrod, 56, has worked for 18 years at the Center for Arizona Policy. She has been president since 2005. She focused on Proposition 102 to define marriage in the Arizona Constitution as only the union of one man and one woman. She has also worked in support of abortion-limiting or anti-abortion legislation, including the 2012 law passed to prohibit abortions after 20 weeks. CAP also works in defense of religious freedoms.

Herrod is an attorney who has been acknowledged for her influence at the Arizona Capitol. Her dream, in her work, is that people overcome a knee-jerk reaction to her views and be willing to look at the merits of the issue.

Not one-size-fits-all

The polarization of women on issues that are central to many, demonstrates that women’s role in public policy is not one-size-fits-all.

Soler is the first Latina to head the ACLU of Arizona, which opened a second office in Tucson in June to focus on border issues. She says the ACLU agrees with the Goldwater Institute on many free speech issues, but diverges on subjects such as school tax credits. She notes that the ACLU has also lobbied and filed lawsuits over anti-abortion legislation in opposition to the Center for Arizona Policy. She says ACLU advocacy is for public policy, not only individuals.

Hart is concerned about the emotional intensity of conversations around the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

“We’re still debating whether health insurance should cover birth control, but we cover erectile dysfunction with Viagra, a very expensive medication,” Hart notes.

Female mentors played an important role for Pfister at St. Joseph’s Hospital, particularly Linda Hunt, president and CEO of Dignity Health Arizona. Pfister also experienced strong mentorship in the Phoenix Soroptimist Club during the 1980s and 1990s when she was starting her work in public policy as assistant deputy director for the Arizona Department of Revenue.

Friend had good male mentors in her union work, and when asked now what it feels like to be the first woman executive of the state AFL-CIO, she says, “I don’t know, I’m first.”

Hart, 65, says she wishes she’d had a female mentor, but men championed her leadership development, and one dean taught her how to encourage the participation of minority members in a discussion.

Hart says she has to reach out to mentor women from her position now. Friend is often shadowed for a day, by women wanting to be lobbyists, on her visits to lawmakers’ offices at the state Capitol. And Olsen mentors interns and promising policy analysts. She says it’s helpful to have someone who’s walked that same trail when one is starting out.

Kicking the glass ceiling

Do women in public policy feel that their gender is adequately represented in policy leadership?

Pfister says, “We’ve kicked the glass ceiling, but every so often it creeps back up. It’s not as hard, but it’s still different for women.”

Olsen says top level female leadership in Arizona is reflected in the society.

“Is leadership perfectly mirrored? No. Is it adequately mirrored? Yes. Because I feel like society at this point reflects women’s choices. In this day and age, women are only limited by their own choices and desires.”

Friend says if you look at the Legislature, it’s still mostly men, and the most powerful lobbyists are probably still men. (35.6 percent of the Arizona Legislature is made up of women and the national average is 24.2 percent)

“There are still barriers and gates that are locked, and situations where you get your credibility (based) on your genitals, not your brain,” Friend says.

Welch says there are a lot of great women in policy making roles, “but can we do better? Yes, we are losing out on talent that could be of service to the state. There could be more women in policy.”
