The Long Island Women’s Agenda (LIWA), the voice for Long Island Women, recently announced that it is adopting Early Care & Education as a major issue.

In making this announcement, LIWA has committed itself to being an advocate and promoting education on this issue through the LIWA website, the Agenda newsletter, and in future programming. To kick off the initiative, LIWA is partnering with the Long Fund For Women & Girls, and creating a seminar series to educate members, the general public, and the business community on early care and education issues, as well as pending legislative changes. LIWA is also committed to reaching out and partnering with other members of the business community to gain support and facilitate education and development on these issues, which directly impact the community as a whole.

LIWA is a not-for-profit advocacy organization that provides a voice for Long Island Women on issues, policies and programs affecting the lives of those living and working on Long Island. LIWA has taken a leadership role on many matters including women’s health, affordable housing and pay equity.
