On Friday, November 9, & Saturday, November 10, 2001 the U.S. Department
of Labor, Women's Bureau is co-sponsoring a super important conference
entitled "The New Economy: Women & Girls in High Tech" for women and men
leaders in educational, business, governmental, and not-for-profit
organizations to develop a regional strategy for educating, recruiting,
retaining and supporting women in high tech jobs. We need you there and
we need your input!
Sponsors include IBM; Office of Governor Pataki, Division for Women;

In advance of this important event, we would like your thoughts on how to
encourage more women to pursue careers in science and
technology fields. This activity is central to creating a strategy for
the Northeastern United States and will form the basis for region-specific
Action Plans.
