Federal Women's Program
 Iowa Program Manager: Christine
Taliga, (319) 622-3264
The Federal Women’s Program (FWP)
is a special emphasis program established in 1963 to enhance employment and
advancement of women. Executive Order 11478, signed in 1969, brought the
FWP into the
overall Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
Program and placed it under the stewardship of the Director of
EEO.
The program seeks to:
- Ensure that Federal agencies institute, plan, and take
affirmative steps to provide equal opportunity to women applicants and
employees in all areas of employment (recruitment, hiring, training,
promotions, and awards)
- Provide a means for women to communicate their concerns to
management.
- To ensure that agency meets the requirements of the
EEO laws, Executive Orders, and EEOC
guidelines.
- To advise management of their FWP
responsibilities, the status and progress of the program, and the concerns of
women in their organization.
