Activate 3.8: The Pay Equity Tour Launch Event
Activate 3.8
Join us as we launch Activate 3.8, a statewide campaign, and hear how women and families have been impacted by the wage gap, and from the leaders who are seeking change.
Nectar Lounge, 412 N 36th St, Seattle, WA 98103
Washington state is among the worst in the nation for the gender pay gap, a reality that stunts our state’s economy, restricts opportunities for 3.8 million women, and has the potential to limit future generations of girls.
The Washington State Women’s Commission is on a mission to change that by bringing together state agencies and legislators with business, labor and academia to co-create solutions that enhance equity and opportunity at every stage of a woman’s career.
Activate 3.8 Campaign Launch features powerhouse speakers with expertise and influence to uplift, empower, and protect Washington’s women.
- Governor Jay Inslee
- Grace Yoo, Executive Director, Washington State Women’s Commission
- April Sims, President, Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO WA
- Cami Feek, Commissioner, Employment Security Department
- Lekha Fernandes, Executive Director, Office for Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises
- Andrea Anderson, CEO, Girl Scouts of Western Washington
This is just the first stop on a 10-city Pay Equity Tour in partnership with the Girl Scouts of Washington, where the WSWC aims to connect more K-12 girls to a wider array of career opportunities in tech, aerospace, STEM, construction, and trades.
