Jen Simon will speak about the Wyoming Women's Foundation
More about Jen and the Foundation follows.
About the Presentation:
Thanks to funding from the Wyoming Women’s Foundation, The Equality State Policy Center (ESPC) will spend the next year sparking conversations across Wyoming about the contributions of women to our state’s economy, women’s impact on local communities, and women’s leadership roles.
The first of these statewide conversations focuses on Wyoming’s gender wage gap, what it means for women’s economic security, and how closing the gap could benefit the state. Whether you think that the gender wage gap is real or a myth, whether you’ve experienced it yourself or know someone who has, this conversation is a chance to find out more. It’s a chance to hear what solutions are out there and why closing the gap matters—and is beneficial—for everyone.
