“Raise your hand and say yes. Take on risk and new challenges” Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of the General Services Administration told Women of Washington co-hosts Aileen Black and Gigi Schumm.

She encouraged the next generation of women leaders to be bold and to get out of their comfort zone.

“Experience all you can in the U.S. and around the world,” she said.

Davie advised the next generation of leaders that the world is a small place and international experience is valuable. She shared her almost three decades experience of dedicated public service working at GSA. She shared her journey from GSA college intern to overseeing more than $23 billion of acquisition service to agency customers worldwide.
