Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe and husband, EBay CEO John Donahoe, write article for TIME.

In an article for TIME, Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe and her husband, EBay CEO John Donahoe, write about how they have been equal partners in raising four kids.  

In the article, they discuss Ambassador Chamberlain’s appointment as United States Representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.  They write, “More recently, we faced another potential conflict when Eileen was offered an appointment by President Obama to be US Ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Given that John was CEO at eBay, and that our two youngest children were still in high school, this prospect at first seemed impossible. But our children’s first reaction to the news was, 'That’s great Mom. You should do it! We’ll make it work.' And we did. John has tried to minimize his travel when Eileen is gone, and when she is in Geneva we talk or Skype every day. It has worked more smoothly than we imagined.”
