DECISIONS/ACTION ITEMS
1) The Commission will send as many members as are interested to
the 1995 Summit on Women's Economic Security.
Sharon will call B. Musselwhite regarding registration
deadline (Ref. 6/5).
2) Eight categories proposed by the Executive Study Committee
were adopted as proposed.
3) All members need to re-signup for one of these 8 categories
for the Study.
. Each category group is to research availability of relevant
material for their topic. The group should then
study/review/outline the material and consider possible areas
of focus for research questions. Come to July meeting with
published materials, something tangible. If you will not be at
the July 17 meeting, send your materials with someone else.
4) Questions which are consistent with our chosen research
methodologies and desired study outcomes will be formulated in the
larger group for review of consistency, balance, and integration.
