NACW Webinar: Equal Pay Education through Build a Brighter Future - Thursday, September 14

Build a Brighter Future is an initiative founded by the Iowa Office on the Status of Women in collaboration with other partners that seeks to raise awareness of wage inequality in Iowa, and equip college-aged women with the tools they need to be successful in the workplace.  The Iowa Office on the Status of Women received a 2016 Achievement Award for its collaborative work on the program with the American Association of University Women and the US Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau. This webinar will focus on how Iowa developed the program, and will highlight best practices and lessons learned.
