The Federal Women's Program
The
FWP was established in 1967 when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Executive
Order 11375 and added sex as a prohibited form of discrimination. The
FWP has a primary responsibility to identify barriers to the hiring and
advancement of women and to enhance employment opportunities for women
in every area of federal service. Guidance for the FWP was originally
provided by the Civil Service Commission (now OPM). In 1978 the program
responsibility was transferred to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC). The FWP is an integral part of the overall CR/EO Program. Each
federal agency has at least one FWPM, and many agencies have established
a network of managers, representatives, and committees throughout their
headquarters and field locations. The FWPM acts as the agency’s
contact point, source of information, and advisor to the head of the agency
in matters involving the employment and career advancement of women. In
field locations, FWPMs may also be appointed and serve in a similar role
or as an extension of the National FWPM. All federal employees are served
by the FWP, and there is no formal membership.
Other News:
Effective December 1, 2008, Federally Employed Women ("FEW") terminated its relationship and activities with the Legal and Education Fund ("LEF" and previously referred to as the "FEW Legal and Education Fund" and "FEW-LEF").The termination of the relationship between the two entities is based upon policy and procedural differences that could not be resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the leadership of the two organizations. FEW's leadership believes the termination of the relationship between the two organizations to be in the best interest of FEW and its membership. The leadership of the LEF has been directed to discontinue any and all use of the FEW name or acronym in connection with its activities.
