HOW WE DO OUR THING

Everything we do is research based.  Established on a system-focused, data-driven model, the following three-pronged approach is used to address each policy issue: 

  • Identify: Members of MCW committees identify issues that prohibit women from living their best lives.
  • Endorse:  Once an issue has been identified, the sponsors bring to the steering committee their research model.  
  • Research: Once a topic is identified and selected, the research begins to make the case.
  • Recommend:  The published study includes policy recommendations for government to consider.
