A Capitol Hill Salute to the Class of 2008 Congressional Fellows on Women & Public Policy June 17, 2008
WREI Congressional Fellows on Women & Public Policy Summer TV surge is focus of Smart Television Alliance campaign
WREI President Susan Scanlan, who also chairs the National Council of Women's Organizations (NCWO) and is co-chair of the Smart Television Alliance, called for action to give parents and caregivers new choices in summer TV programming for children. "With kids out of school, parents and caregivers are desperate for constructive activities for their children," Scanlan stated "The OutSmart the Summer Spike! campaign will feature Daily Tips to use television programming to promote learning." STA is a coalition of national nonprofit organizations united by a shared commitment to improving what the nation's children see on television. Joining Susan as co-chairs are Reg Weaver, president of the National Education Association (NEA), and Warlene Gery, president of the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA). STA will help parents and caregivers make smart choices about television viewing through online tools and programming recommendations from expert nonprofit children's media organizations.
WREI partners with the Global Summit of Women In January, WREI formed an alliance with Globewomen, Inc., a prominent public affairs firm in Washington, DC.
