HOW WE DO OUR THING
Based 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.
- 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.
Each committee includes individual workgroups tasked with research, analysis and publication.
The goal of each publication is to impact barriers through education that leads to improved government policy.
To be a part of our work, review the focus areas and sign up.....for any or all that interest you!
