identifying areas in need of research, facilitating the exchange of ideas and

- 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.

Association policy:
- Sessions(s) and appropriate programs at the Annual and Regional meetings of
