We are honored for United WE President & CEO, @WendyDDoyle, to testify before the Kansas Senate Commerce Committee today on occupational licensing reform, SB30. When women have a license to succeed, economies grow. #KSleg

Yesterday’s tragedy is a sobering reminder that violence has no place in our democracy. We must commit to civility and respect, even in moments of deep disagreement.
Our communities are stronger when we choose dialogue over division.
Fantastic conversation at the Missouri SHRM Conference about real solutions on child care and paid leave. Thanks to our panelists Rep. Brandon Phelps, Doug Devereux, & Jared Hankinson, for sharing their insights on breaking down barriers facing women - and men - in the workforce.
Thanks to KZIM and Faune Riggin for the great conversation about empowering women for leadership roles. The application deadline for our southeast and southwest Missouri Journey Groups is coming up, so apply today on our website! https://t.co/olpu3aOeKC
The bipartisan progress Kansas is making to expand child care access is a huge and underreported success story. Thank you @GovLauraKelly for your leadership!
Kansas parents shouldn't have to choose between going to work and finding affordable child care. That's why we're supporting providers and expanding capacity faster than ever. We're on track to add more child care slots in the next two years than we have in the last 15.
