A valuable source of erpertise and experience was opened to us when Governor Joseph E. Brennan appointed liaisons from all state agencies to become an intricate part of Commission activity. The liaisons offer information about opportunities or lack of for women in their departments.

A servi ce that we see that we can offer women of Maine is to be an information and referral service. This will be a suppo:!'.· t system and directory for women with problems. We do not anticipate s olving problems but referring women to the proper agency or person to get the help they seek. This information may be • sought through our liaison network.

We will continue to promote and inform women of educational and informational sessions and workshop until the day that under t he law and in the minds and actions of all, women are equal.
