Overview
Since 1988, advocates in North Carolina have banded together in each even year
to share information on public policy issues apt to come before the next session
of the General Assembly. Their efforts have resulted in a "Draft
Women's Agenda" published in late summer as an educational tool.
These issues are then discussed at "Women's Agenda Assemblies" across
the state, and the summaries of those discussions are presented to the Legislature
at the start of the session in the odd year.
Several events were held across the state from August 2004 through March 2005.
