A Message from Our National President

FEW’s 55th National Training Program

This year’s National Training Program (NTP) intersects with the month we mindfully honor Women’s Equality. We are part of a long history of women and allies fighting for our rights and protecting female wage-earners in the United States of America and in the federal workplace. Recognizing this, we are committed to individually and collectively doing our part to continue advancing women in the workplace. Training is a fundamental tenet and focus area of this great organization, allowing FEW members to expand their knowledge base and grow new skills.

Still celebrating…

Founded 192 years after the birth of this great nation, Federally Employed Women (FEW) continues a proud history of female wage-earners and trailblazers who have shaped the workforce and helped build the foundation of the United States. As our nation commemorates its Semiquincentennial, we proudly join the nationwide America250 celebration to honor the extraordinary accomplishments, resilience, and leadership of women throughout American history. For two and a half centuries, women have driven economic progress, broken barriers, and strengthened public service.

Dedicated to career advancement and professional excellence in the federal workplace, our organization stands on the shoulders of these pioneers while equipping the next generation of leaders. Training remains a fundamental tenet and primary focus area of FEW, empowering our members to continuously expand their knowledge base, master new skills, and drive meaningful innovation across government service.
