8 Remarkable Women in Business
by the Hartford Business Journal, Monday, March 24, 2008
It's
no longer a novelty when a woman rises to a leadership position in
business in Hartford, and each year the candidates for our outstanding
women awards seem to get stronger and stronger.
In this sixth year of
the competition, the Hartford Business Journal has selected eight women

specialize in technology products, radically expanded the concept of

At 35: State's Permanent
Commission on the Status of Women
Has Come a Long Way
New Haven Register, Sunday, March 2, 2008
HARTFORD—There’s a reason for the word “permanent” in

workplace to recruiting female firefighters and police officers, the

visible, viable and vocal,” says Teresa Younger of Shelton, the

The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW) was established by the State Legislature in 1973. Seventeen appointed volunteer Commissioners join a staff and volunteers to work to eliminate sex discrimination in Connecticut. They are to inform leaders about the nature and scope of discrimination, to serve as a liaison between government and private interest groups concerned with services for women, to promote consideration of women for governmental positions, and to work with state agencies to access programs and practices as they affect women.
