AP PHOTOT-Town executive meeting.
Executive met this week at the annual meeting to discuss important topics relative to our town. On the docket includes spending budgets, administration tasks, administration staffing and women's role.
"We really have no idea what to do with them" says one executive who asked to not be identified. "We are looking for new ways to engage them".
Indeed, the town's leadership has been grappling with this issue for some time. Women have traditionally held lower paying jobs such as health care, food service and children's eduction. Recently, some women have been objecting to the low status placed upon them and their services.
"I have a PH.D in Business Management but am not allowed to comment on important leadership choices" says one disenfranchised participants. "I have been offered jobs in other cities and am considering taking them, but I've lived int his town all my life. Maybe its time to move on."
Studies show that many women have done just that. Some are now serving on many leadership teams and within organizations but still the door is closed for those wishing to serve in T-Town.
The convention convenes tomorrow through Sunday.
