WG-USA Identified Three Priority Issues
This year the Program committee of Women Graduates–USA identified three priority issues which, as a result of the committee’s thoughtful and committed consideration demanded attention as first and urgent priorities, chosen from many possible priorities. At year’s end an evaluation will occur, setting in place a plan for action in the year 2011, as well as the identification of emerging and additional urgent priorities.
>>Rationale and introduction
The three priority issues are
A program guide for action on each of these priorities is available in 'Members' Meeting Place ".
WG members will discover that the program materials have been written for an individual WG member who wants to “do something” about any or all of these priorities. To facilitate this goal the Program Committee created a template for each priority. It is hoped that the individual member, reading through these templates, can say to herself, “Eureka! WG read my mind! Here are some concrete ideas about something I can do right where I live, right now. It’s here on the web!”
