COUNCIL SHARES GENDER EQUITY BEST PRACTICES AT SENATE HEARING

Gender equity best practices of Bay Area Council member companies and information about the “business case” for growing gender equity in the workplace were features of testimony given by Bay Area Council Policy Associate Brianne Riley at a special oversight hearing of the California State Senate Committee on Labor Industrial Relations held in San Francisco on Wednesday. The Council’s testimony allowed for an opportunity to mention the Council’s sponsorship of SB 670, which would reestablish the Employer Child Care Tax Credit, as well as its support for the Fair Pay Act signed into law by Governor Brown on Tuesday.
