   • NC Women United Report Card on 2007 Session
3. Information on current issues
   • Paid Sick Leave: Talking points on paid sick leave.
     • NOTE: The board will be asked to confirm AAUW NC’s support of this effort.
     • See also National Partnership for Women and Families (but be prepared to turn off your computer audio)
       
   • Domestic Violence: NCCADV 2008 Legislative Agenda
4. Pay Equity: Watch for a convention version of the “I am the face of Pay Equity” campaign with stickers (to show the other hotel guests what we’re about) and prepared post cards to write to our senators.
5. Young Advocates ToolKit – the information in the last issue of the Tar Heel News will be updated with information on how the branches have taken advantage of this project, funded with a public policy action grant from the Association.
