To the Honorable, the Legislature:
On behalf of the Wisconsin Women's Council Board, I am pleased to present to you the Council's 2009-2011 Biennial Report. The following report detail activities and programs that were carried out between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2011. The Women's Council continues its quarter century long 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 continues to revolve around organizational two main themes: Partnership and Quality, noted below. In our program of work, the Women's Council has begun a new major initiative on financial literacy and education for women. In addition, the Council will continue to pursue its ongoing work in the areas of women's business ownership, women's economic self-sufficiency, and college and career exploration (STEM) for girls.
Partnerships. The Women's Council has developed creative and successful partnerships, which have allowed us to implement meaningful, targeted initiatives that improve social and economic opportunities 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 Scott Walker and Members of the Wisconsin Legislature for the commitment they have shown to improving the status of women by funding the Council and supporting our efforts. We look forward to working with you over the 2011-2013 Biennium.
Sincerely,
Christine Lidbury
Executive Director
Referred to committee on Children and Families.
