Compliance

Helping to ensure:
  • Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
  • EEO Laws
  • Civil Rights
  • Working relationships with federal departments and agencies

Diversity

Because minority women have historically suffered the double discrimination of sex and racial/national origin, FEW recognizes the need to establish a policy that promotes better understanding and recommends change to meet the needs of minority members.
Learn More

Legislative

FEW supports the premise that analysis of proposed legislation designed to eliminate discrimination against women employed in government should receive top priority. However, it is increasingly important to support legislation that affects the status of women as a class, whether or not federally employed.

Training

The educational policy of FEW is to fulfill the purposes stated in Article II of the Bylaws through:
  • Research and development of appropriate programs and materials
  • Promotion of the effective use of such programs and materials.

Message from the FEW PRESIDENT

MLK Day 2021 – A Day On; Not a Day Off

Can you believe it is 2021 and our nation is still dealing with the pandemic and social justice for all people? It is just the first month of the year and so much has already happened. Now more than ever our nation deserves a day of calmness, civility and peace. We need “A Day of Service” for every Americans. In honor of the late Civil Rights leader’s, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his life and legacy, FEW celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday. We honor his commitment to justice, equality and inclusion. His life exemplifies how we should conduct ourselves in a world of discourse and disagreements, how we should reflect the best of ourselves.
