The second Women\u2019s Summit hosted by the CNMI Women\u2019s Association will take place Monday and Tuesday next week at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center in Susupe.<\/p>\n
CNMI Women\u2019s Association chair Rep. Felicidad T. Ogumoro (R-Saipan) said the summit seeks to highlight the CWA\u2019s mission, which is to ensure that women are fully engaged in the political, economic, and social development of the CNMI. It is also in line with this month\u2019s celebration of Women\u2019s Month.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen CWA was put together, we worked to ensure that we have a strategic plan that included our vision, mission, and goals. We wanted to make sure that it was put out and we refer to those every time and not lose track of what we have to do,\u201d Ogumoro said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will help because we will eventually have women fully participating and fully engaged in the development of the CNMI,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The first Women\u2019s Summit was in 2013. Limited funding scotched last year\u2019s summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe participants put together a number of priority areas that we need to look at [during the first Women\u2019s Summit.] We took all those issues and put it all together and came up with our strategic plan. That was important because we gathered all our thoughts and helped develop a draft plan and then the board adopted it and since then we followed it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The second Women\u2019s Summit will start on Monday, March 30, from 7am to 4pm. It will include introductory and opening remarks and two separate topics with a panel.<\/p>\n
The two topics include \u201cEmpowering Women as Leaders\u201d and \u201cWomen in the Workforce.\u201d Following the discussions will be an evaluation.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, March 31, it will begin at 7am and end at 4:15pm that includes two discussions: \u201cCultural Preservation and Practices\u201d and \u201cPromoting Healthier Lifestyles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
