2. Fostering opportunities to enrich women's professional lives so they may reach their full potential as scholars and practitioners; facilitating increased participation of women in professional conferences, committees, and editorial boards of publications;
3. Providing a forum in which Association men and women can discuss the impact of women's increased participation in the workforce, and encouraging interdisciplinary exchanges between accountants and members of other learned groups;
4. Promoting equitable treatment of women in business and academia, and promoting classroom knowledge and sensitivity to gender issues;
5. Increasing the awareness of the policies that assist professional women and men in successfully combining career and family; and
