California Federal Women's Program

Program Manager - RaeAnn Dubay

The Federal Women's Program (FWP) was established to ensure that agencies meet the requirements of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Guidelines. The FWP Manager (FWPM) advises management of their program responsibilities, the status and progress of the program and the concerns of women in their organization. The FWPM is responsible for all women within their organization, regardless of grade level.

Objectives

  • Increase the total number of women employed in professional, administrative, and technical occupations.
  • Eliminate concentrations of women in single-interval occupational series, to diversify and create advancement opportunities throughout all occupational levels and disciplines.
  • Encourage the participation of women in all NRCS-sponsored programs and activities.
