The Business Professional Women (BOW) luncheon meeting will be held Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at the Best Western Abbey Inn, located at 1129 South Bluff St. The meeting will start at 11:45 am for Networking, and the lunch will begin promptly at 12:00 pm and go until 1:00 pm. The luncheon topic will be "Equal Payday and the story of Lily Ledbetter (Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.)."
Every year in April, Business and Professional Women/USA and hundreds of other organizations - women's, civil rights, labor, and community - team up with the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) for a national day of action promoting fair pay: Equal Pay Day. Pay equity continues to be an issue of economic justice for women and minorities in America.
April symbolizes the month when women's wages catch up to men's wages from the previous year. To help end wage inequities, the NCPE, a nonprofit organization working exclusively to achieve pay equity in America, coordinates this annual day of action.
