Attention women!  April 24, 2007 is Equal Pay Day, the date by which you
will have earned as much money as your male counterpart earned by December
31, 2006.



Economist Evelyn Murphy, president of The Wage Project, estimates that over
a lifetime (47 years of full time work) a women will experience the
following loss in wages: $700,000 for a high school graduate; $1.2 million
for a college graduate; and $2 million for a professional school graduate.



Learn how to stop this trend during the Show me the Money: Unlock Your
Earning Potential workshop hosted by a panel of successful women focusing on
effective ways to utilize negotiation & communication skills to close the
wage gap.
