Wisconsin Women's Council
September 28, 2007
The Honorable, The Legislature:
In 2004, the Wisconsin Women's Council Board was charged with restarting and revitalizing the Council. We are proud of our achievements in this regard and pleased to present to you the Council's 2005-2007 Biennial Report. The following pages detail activities and programs that were carried out between July 1, 2005 and June 30, 2007.
Many Wisconsin women are seeing real improvements in their social and economic status. Nonetheless, many women in our state still face significant barriers to full social and economic participation. The Women's Council continues its 24-year history of working to identify obstacles, address inequities and develop partnerships to help make Wisconsin a state of opportunity and prosperity for all Wisconsin women and girls.
The work of the Women's Council over this period has been built on two main themes:
Partnerships. The Women's Council has developed creative and successful partnerships, which have allowed us to implement meaningful, targeted initiatives that promote social and economic opportunity for women. Through our collaborations, the Women's Council has provided leadership in educating, informing and developing new ideas to bring a fresh point of view to bear on the issues facing Wisconsin women and their families.
Quality. The Women's Council has built a reputation for providing high quality, objective, nonpartisan and timely research, analyses and program development. In doing so, we endeavor to provide a central and lasting resource for the people of Wisconsin and their elected officials.
On behalf of the Wisconsin Women's Council, we thank Governor Jim Doyle and members of the Wisconsin Legislature for the commitment you have shown to improving the status of women by funding the Women's Council and supporting our efforts. We look forward to working with you over the 2007-2009 biennium.
Respectfully submitted,
Christine Lidbury
