Yes, the past months have been hectic. The myriad of details that are essential to pro duce an event of this proportion sometimes seemed overwhelming. But with the help of so many of you, we have achieved our goal-a coming together for each of us to share ex periences, to exchange information, to learn from stimulating resources-and to have a good time with women from all parts of the country. This convention is an unique opportunity to sharpen your political skills, to develop tools to aid your Caucus's growth, to learn more about the critical issues facing women-and thus every American-and to work toward the common goals of power for all feminists and feminists in all places of power. I want to take this opportunity to salute the many people who have worked to make this convention the best in our history ... the tri-state area, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana Caucus members, the Caucus staff, and the volunteer assistance from Caucus members everywhere has made the convention committee's job infinitely easier. Thank you all. When you return home after this meeting, I hope you will feel renewed and re energized, ready to continue your crucial work in seeing that women are in the Constitu tion, in the Congress and in your local and state offices. We Have A Lot to Win! Cathie Hartnett Convention Chair NWPC Judicial Appointments Project to help women learn the ropes and get through the nominating process. We've opened the door a crack.

We are committed, however, to enhancing the quality of judges for all Americans by making the courts representative of The Chair the diversity of our country through the appointment of women and minorities. In the midst of our successes, naturally, we are bound to experience some set-backs. But one of the most debilitating to feminists around the country was the summary dismissal of Bella Abzug, chair of the National Advisory Committee for Women, by President Carter. Twenty-four of the 40 members of that Committee resigned in support of Bella and Co Chair Carmen Delgado Votaw, and to protest the presidential dictum' that the Committee should not speak out on the economy, the budget and inflation programs as they impact women. Bella has always been a controversial woman . . . but she has always been her own woman and our own woman. She has stood for change and for issues that affect all Millie Jeffrey humanity regardless of the consequences. And we salute her.

Wherever I go, Caucus women inspire and sustain me. You are truly marvelous, bright, able, practical, idealist and caring. You nurture each other in a sharing and loving sexism, racism, poverty, and violence in our society. way. A more recent memory is the unprecedented National Women's Conference in Houston Thank you all. two years ago .. . the most representative gathering of women ever assembled and a We face 1980 strong, well prepared and resilient. beautiful panoply to feminism and womanhood. A plan of action was adopted with over whelming support that has become the constitution for the women's movement. The spirit of Houston lives on. On a hot, muggy Washington day last June 9, the first Millie Jeffrey anniversary of the death of Alice Paul, over 100,000 women, men and children marched NWPC Chair on the Capitol to put women in the Constitution . . . after 200 years of exclusion. That march was the kick-off for one of the most extraordinarily unified and intensive lobbying campaigns ever carried out-for the extension of the ERA ratification period. With support from labor, religious, civil rights, environmental, health, and other public in terest as well as women's groups. Congress, despite heavy opposition, responded and ex tended the deadline to June 20, 1982. In San Jose in 1977, ratification of ERA was made the number one priority for the NWPC. During the past two years, Caucus efforts to carry out this mandate have blossom ed. With the assistance of the newly created NWPC ERA Fund state and local caucuses gained a sophistication regarding political techniques, targeted districts, recruited can didates and managed campaigns for carefully selected pro-ERA supporters. Contributing over $350,000 in money and technical support, we won 75 percent of our races. While impressive, unfortunately, the increase was not enough to overcome the political chicanery of the few wheeler-dealers who trade off cheap favors for our basic rights. ERA is still a priority for us. As long as that 38th state remains unratified, we are an unratified nation. We will develop a national focus and mobilize for 1980 electoral vic tories. The appointed arena has not been overlooked by the Caucus. By initiating the Coalition for Women's Appointments, we won dozens of posts for women to top policy positions in '2."7~'2.1 the Carter administration, not only in Washington, but also in regional offices. Two of the Caucus founders, Roxanne Conlin and Virginia Dill McCarty were the first women ever to be named U.S. Attorneys in Iowa and Indiana, respectively. With our appointment successes in administration spots, we then took on the U.S. judicial system, an exclusive, all-white, all-male sexist bastion. In 200 years only 24 women have served on the federal bench. Systematically we attacked this area through the 3 2 NWPC History N\X/PC Makes Headlines Her Goal: Women In Politics H,u,..,...,_ Ju1h J.1~..-.._, ' '" " m,..r ._, O!l tlfc'to11111 .,.,1__ 1,1 .w,..:1 New Success for Women: f:'1.n9!U :.:::;.

You don't need to be a political expert to join, but you'll soon become one." The Caucus began with 271 women in 197 1. In eight years, the organization has grown to 45,000 members and supporters. Since the 1977 convention alone, membership has in creased by one third. This is due in large part to the sustained effort by volunteers in state and local caucuses which now number over 300 in 38 states, the District of Columbia and Capitol Hill. The strength of any organization lies in its members, and the Caucus is no exception. Programs that attract activist women, whether they be political neophytes or veterans, are part of a local and state caucus agenda. Women have joined the Caucus in order to work side by side in ERA ratification and rescission battles; in recruiting candidates and running campaigns; in getting out the vote and monitoring local party activities; in lobbying for feminists appointments to boards and commissions, and in traipsing through the halls of the state legislature to see that important human issues are not lost. The membership committee, with Peg Cass as chair, along with staff members Grace Orlansky and Paula Pucillo, answer questions on caucus policies and procedures and assist with caucus organizing and development. They are joined by other standing committee and staff members who share their expertise in the areas of fund raising, lobbying, public .. relations, appointments procedures and political action. During the past year, two important membership tools were published-a national The Caucus, at its second national convention in Boston in 1975, was the first organiza membership brochure adaptable for state and local use; and a basic organizing manual tion to create a political campaign committee to raise money for candidates.

Within re cent months the Caucus concluded an agreement with Philip Morris which has resulted in the distribution of 10,000 copies of a new NWPC brochure, "You Have a Lot to Win, Become a Delegate to Your National Party Convention." Politics costs money ... lots of money . . . and especially for women. The future is indeed bright for this new area of fund raising for the NWPC. A joint study done by the NWPC and Common Cause found that women candidates rais ed only 75 percent of the total amount raised by male candidates. And when women run for office, they are almost always challengers striving to defeat incumbents. Challengers generally raise only half what incumbents raise. Money is crucial not only to the goal of the NWPC-to elect feminists to office-but also for the very existence of the organization. To fund, staff, and service a national membership organization, and two political com mittees takes creativity, persistence, determination, sensitivity, and oftentimes the discovery of unknown skills. The NWPC has been especially fortunate for the past six years to have had the diver sified talents of Lael Stegall, who together with Jane McMichael set the stage for the Caucus's solvency. Newly hired development director, Elois King, with her associate, Elois King Ann Monnig, are continuing the fund raising activities. Audrey Rowe(!) and Coretta Scott King A carefully constructed program budget was assembled by Planning and Development chair, Carol Silverthorn; Finance chairs, Retha Ott, and Erla Alexander matched income Events projections to budget expenditures.

The board is composed of NWPC founders, immediate past members of the Administra tive Committee, six leaders of national women's organizations and ten or more individuals who are committed to the goals and purposes of the Caucus. The board is chaired by the immediate past Caucus chair. ERA Door-To-Door Canvass A first for any organization committed to the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment was undertaken by the NWPC ERA Fund, which contracted with Women's Resources, Inc., an independent group of highly trained, seasoned canvassers. Door-to-door canvassing has been in operation in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Virgini~, Maryland, and Penn sylvania. Over 400,000 families have been contacted and $600,000 raised. Side benefits of this type of fund raising are the one-on-one issue education and the recruitment of members for the local caucuses. Corporate Support Since the creation of NWPC, many individual donors have shared the Caucus cause and commitment. However, during the past two years, the NWPC has reached out to the cor porate community for additional support and has received a warm and profitable welcome.

The Task Force is open to all Democratic caucus members. Its current chair is Joanne Howes, a legislative aide to Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) . Howes helps members translate party jargon into effective tools for gaining access to power and representation for feminists. Sometimes, the task forces use each other for leverage. For example, the 1978 increase of Republican women elected to state legislatures gave Democratic Task Force members the opportunity to push their party to support more Democratic women in 1980. Task force members will continue to press both the party and present administration to see that there is no regression for women in the Democratic Party. 14 15 Legislative Committee Republican Women's Task Force "Republican women can of the Republican Task Force didates have proved to be in January 1979 greatly 'electable' all over the coun strengthened our network. try with 62 of the 66 new With this new strength, task female state legislators being force members are launching Republican, as well as the an all out effort to increase new member of the U.S. the number of women Senate, Nancy Kassebaum. delegates at the 1980 Repub Illinois WPC Chair Teresa Wedoff and member Marsha Gevers lican National Convention, lobby Illinois Congressional delegation.

Ann Kolker Legislation Director 16 17 NWPC Judicial Coalition For Women's Appointments Project Appointments The Coalition for Women's Appointments, a network of over 60 national women's organizations, was founded in 1976 in response to President Carter's commitment to ap p'oint women in significant numbers to key posts within the federal government. Housed and staffed by the NWPC, the Coalition monitors government appointments and civil service developments which act as the key to women's access to top level positions. Through monthly meetings, the coalition alerts members to upcoming vacancies. This net work of women throughout the government and of state and local talent banks provides the White House and federal agencies with a continuing flow of women's names. 111111---- Pat Bailey Susan Ness Legal Support Caucus, Co-Chair Legal Support Caucus, Co-Chair There were only five women in the entire federal judiciary in 1977 when the Judicial Appointments Project began. By October, there will be as many as 35 due to the watchdog efforts of the NWPC Judicial Appointments Project. Working closely with the Legal Support Caucus membership, the project has formed a nationwide network to recruit and assist women through the appointments process. Project workers have also brought public attention to the shocking under-representation of women on the state and federal bench, have educated women on the selection process, and have worked closely with the Carter administration and senators to insure that the selection pro cess is fair and open. The NWPC has been the chief monitor of the appointments process, beginning with NWPC Chair Mildred Jeffrey's testimony before the opening hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee where she critiqued the selection process. This monitoring process will con tinue as the NWPC members across the country gain the expertise to make the difference in state judicial elections. Susan Ness, chair of the NWPC Legal Support Caucus, Vice Chair Pat Bailey, and others, have provided the project with leadership. Tax deductible contributions to the NWPC Leadership Development, Education and Research Fund have provided major support for this project. 18 19 , ·:;;~----· N\X/PC Convention Schedule Women's ...... ·· ...... ;...... ~=~•~ \foJnelisft...lU:-1•-• ,....,,.,.

The Fund won 75 percent of its targeted races-106 of 142 pro-ERA campaigns. Decisions on candidate endorsements were made in cooperation with state and local caucuses and the ERA committee. Pat Frank, who ran a tough race for the Florida senate said of the Fund, "As so often oc curs with women candidates, money was scarce in our campaign, and we faced a well financed opponent. But our volunteers were numerous and the technical assistance offered by the Caucus permitted us to utilize them to the fullest. " Bob McKnight who defeated ERA turncoat Ralph Posten in another key Florida senate race said, 'Tm convinced I defeated Posten because of the help from the Caucus and its members." During 1979 the ERA Fund is working in Virginia and Louisiana. Plans are already in the works to go back into key states for the 1980 elections.
