Message from the FEW PRESIDENT
This is FEW! Women Who Advocate For Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion!
If you are familiar with the 2024 theme for National Women’s History Month, “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion”, you’ll understand why FEW and its efforts belong at center stage. Since 1968, FEW has been instrumental in moving the needle toward equity for women and marginalized groups in federal work. Our tagline, “working for the advancement of women in the government” only scratches the surface of our deep commitment to grassroots efforts and creating change in the federal workspace.
