The Pay Equity Messaging Tour takes the Washington State Women’s Commission across the state to host events that inspire school-age girls by increasing visibility and accessibility to careers where women are underrepresented.
As we continue this tour across the state, our focus is to engage future leaders in occupations most relevant to the unique needs of their communities. By partnering with local education districts, community organizations, and labor groups, we will spark positive connection between today’s pioneers and tomorrow’s changemakers.
