SUBJECT: Notes from FWPB Meeting - 10 Apr 1979
The following attended subject meeting:
Coordinators reports:
NFAC -L discussed NFAC Working Group meeting last week.
mentioned the recruitment program in NFAC. Wants to meet with
(sp) who is the NFAC recruiter to find out the process for
recruiting women. also asked forideas on getting more
enthusiasm among women. AOP program brought up as not directed
toward people who need it but, instead, candidates are picked who
already may have degrees in English lit, history, etc.
Question: Will NFAC AOP program be abolished when Agency-wide
UPMO program is established?
DDO - Meeting with Tom Polgar to plan personnel. He met with
reps (women) from LA and professional women from Africa divisions.
Will evaluate whether or not meetings were worthwhile. If so, he
will meet again to discuss general professionalconcerns of women.
Meetings were not substantive enough.F----imentioned that women
seem to be extremely intimidated and defeated. Professional women
have refused to attend meetings because they feel "it is not any
good."
2. introduced plans for program on family abuse
in June. Lynn Finn (Prince Charles County) will lead off with
discussion of problem followed perhaps by panel discussion with
members of local counties participating. suggested
we come up with another title for program (leave off "abuse")
which would seem to turn some people away for fear they would
appear to be "abusers." Need to attract braod spectrum of
artici ants. "If I am not an abuser,I don't need to-attend."
asked for suggestions for another title. .
