This strategic plan is expansive and the issue areas identified by members are comprehensive. It identifies and communicates the Wisconsin Women's Council's mission, guiding principles, goals and priority issues for action in the coming years. The Council will work on aspects of each issue area simultaneously, although activities will be prioritized to address various issues over time, as resources allow. The Wisconsin Women's Council is a unique entity with an expansive charge. It is a statutory body intended to promote equity and address issues affecting women throughout the state of Wisconsin.
Council members are public members or legislators, appointed to serve for two year terms.
Because of the Council's unique charge and membership, no positions taken in any previous two-year period should be interpreted as the position of the members of a subsequent Council. The following Guiding Principles identify the concepts that will govern Council activities and interactions with each other and the citizens we represent and serve. The Wisconsin Women's Council works as a team in an environment of mutual respect and recognition. The Wisconsin Women's Council strives to develop consensus when determining appropriate actions, utilizing innovative and effective tools and methods to conduct business. The Wisconsin Women's Council makes decisions based on facts and data, and promotes positive change.
