handicapped women, etc.) faced by women as a result of poverty.
Congressman George Miller has accepted the Advisory Committee's invitation to
serve as the keynote speaker, scheduled for 1:00 p.m., followed by panel
discussion, question and answer period, and recommended solutions. The
Advisory Committee will be inviting representatives from the County's
legislative delegation, Board of Supervisors, Private Industry Council, State
