identifying areas in need of research, facilitating the exchange of ideas and
findings, and providing opportunities for exposure of research results;
- 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;
- 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;
- Promoting equitable treatment of women in business and academia, and
promoting classroom knowledge and sensitivity to gender issues;
- Increasing the awareness of the policies that assist professional women and
men in successfully combining career and family; and
- Determining to explore those areas in which accountants' unique financial
expertise can improve the economic and social well-being of women and men in
contemporary society.
In order to meet its objectives, the Gender Issues and Worklife Balance Section
will sponsor the following activities, consistent with American Accounting
Association policy:
- Sessions(s) and appropriate programs at the Annual and Regional meetings of
the Association;
- Publication of a newsletter to disseminate information regarding members'
