If more Kansas women participated in the workforce, one study shows that Kansas could grow its economy by ten to fifteen percent by 2025. That desire for growth is part of why “United We”, a non-profit aimed at advancing women’s economic and civic leadership is launching a Kansas women’s economic development task force and series of town halls. The non-profit’s CEO Wendy Doyle says she’s looking to collect data to enact policy change. “We certainly hope it gets their attention just by hearing firsthand and hearing the personal stories, that really seems to resonate with policymakers versus a quantitative research report. So that will be our goal in our mission, and we’ll get to work quickly to start to educate policymakers that will then help identify a strategic and focused policy agenda.”
