Saint Mary's College - Notre Dame, IN
Although women have made tremendous gains politically, socially and in the workforce, they continue to lag far behind their male counterparts. In Indiana, women are 61% of the workforce but still only make $.72 for every dollar earned by men in comparable positions. That places Indiana 38th in relationship to other states and it means each woman loses between $700,000 and $2 million in her lifetime, Women also feel the burden of an unequal economic structure in other ways. For example, women, particularly single mothers and their children, are disproportionately affected by poverty.
Join Saint Mary’s College, the Indiana Commission for Women, commuity leaders from many local organizations, and concerned citizens for an important conversation on how to achieve pay equity for women in Indiana. Interactive Breakout sessions will focus on:
1. Best Practices: How Businesses
Can Help Women Bridge The Gap
2. Women in Poverty:
What Our Communities Must Do
3. Opening the Doors:
Education as a Pathwav to Non-Traditional and Higher Paying Jobs
4. Listening to Our
Future: A Dialogue with Younger Women
We hope to see you there!
