A progress report on U.S. achievements since the UN Beijing Conference will be given during the live broadcast from Washington D.C., and is a component of the Arizona Conference on Women s Issues. The broadcast will include video footage of what is working in communities and an outline of the National Action Agenda that is being developed to advance issues that impact women and girls.

The program will include break-out sessions designed to determine the most critical issues of concern for Arizona women and girls as well as possible solutions.

Arizona s conference planners feel strongly that the event will be a catalyst for the development of an Arizona Action Agenda. Video transmission will enable split-screen interaction segments to link participants in various regions for discussions on the most critical issues.

A limited number of spaces are available at each interactive site and ASU is the largest with 250. Registration materials will be sent in early September to women who have expressed an interest in attending the Arizona Conference on Women s Issues.
