Federally Employed Women (FEW)
The organization of choice for leadership, equity, and the advancement of women.

A private, not-for-profit, nonpartisan grassroots membership organization founded in 1968 after Executive Order 11375 was issued that added sex discrimination to the list of prohibited discrimination in the federal government. FEW has grown into an international organization serving more than one million federally employed women—both in the military and civilian workforce.

From the past to present, FEW has focused on four major ongoing program areas: 
Compliance * Diversity * Legislative * Training
Through Compliance - the organization’s objectives will be achieved.  Supporting Legislation that affects the status of women will further the mission of FEW.  Our Diversity drives this organization to work for understanding and sensitivity of every member and to fulfill the purpose of FEW.  Our top priority is Training - FEW offers a venue for personal and professional growth by providing members with opportunities to develop and refine management and organizational skills.

Based on FEW’s commitment to improving opportunities for women, a National Training Program (NTP) is held each year.  This dynamic, professional, and fast paced training offers more than 150 workshops on the most current subjects.  Our 42nd NTP will be held July 18-22, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The training offered is targeted to provide participants with the tools required to establish and build a successful career and to deliver quality public service.
