Public Education and Research

Information is power. Information enables people to make informed decisions about their personal lives, their interpersonal relationships, their jobs and careers, their finances--indeed, all aspects of their lives. We also believe we are empowered when we make conscious choices from a range of options. So, as our lives become more complex, the need for information becomes greater.

Accurate and comprehensive information is therefore a top priority of the Office for Women. We provide information through:

• Responses to specific inquiries from the community
• Printed materials
• Educational programs, such as workshops and conferences
• Specialized training
• Speaker's Bureau
• Participation on interdisciplinary committees and councils
• Research reports
