Our Focus

FEW’s organization is three-tiered and consists of National, Regional, and Chapter levels. All three tiers work together to fulfill the goals of FEW’s four major program areas:

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.

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.

The educational policy of FEW is to fulfill the purposes stated in Article II of the Bylaws through:

Happy Presidents’ Day, FEW!

You operate with integrity and excellence, considering not just yourselves but your broader community. You curiously try new things and do not allow yourself to become discouraged when you fail. You have a vision for your future and are creating plans to accomplish them.
