Finding Aid of the Women In State Government, General Records, 1978 - 1981, ORG.196

Abstract

Women in State Government was organized as a result of the impetus of the 1978 Governor's Conference on Leadership Development for Women in order to "support the professional development of all women in State Government." The general records of the Women in State Government reflect the organization's constituency and its activities in North Carolina between 1978 and 1981. A steering committee of seventeen (one member from each department of state government) and a series of task forces were initially established to govern the policies and programs of the organization as it endeavored to work with private and governmental organizations and agencies to assist women in education, career planning, counseling, upward mobility, recruitment, and other work-related issues.
