The Federal Budget and You
February 28, 3:00pm ET
Following the President’s release of the Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Request, we invite you to a timely webinar: “The Federal Budget and You”. Throughout 2012, debate will rage in Congress, on the campaign trail, and in your community about the budget, and related issues of spending, the deficit and the debt. We are thrilled that Chris Hellman, Senior Research Analyst at the National Priorities Project will present what you need to know to engage in the debate about the federal budget this year, including:
- A Brief Overview of the Federal Budget Process
- A Look at the Projected Spending & Revenue for Fiscal Year 2013
- Budget Impacts at Federal, State & Local levels
- “Sequestration” – What It Is, How It Works, What It Means
Please join us on February 28, 2012 at 3pm ET (2pm CT, 1pm MT, 12pm PT) by registering here.
Chris’s valuable analysis will be informative and empowering. His presentation at our Biennial National Conference, “Women at the Table of Power,” last September received rave reviews including this one: “Hellman was stupendous! More from him!!”
The National Priorities Project is one of WAND’s favorite partners – consistently delivering timely, solid and easy-to-understand and use information about the federal budget. NPP’s mission is to make complex federal budget information transparent and accessible so people can prioritize and influence how their tax dollars are spent.

2012 International Women’s Day Event: War Redefined
Monday, March 5, 2012
Reception at 5:30 PM - featuring wine and appetizers
Film Screening at 6:30 PM, Panel to follow.
Join us as we celebrate International Women's Day 2012 with a reception, premiere film screening and panel!
WAND is co-sponsoring this event where War Redefined, the final film in the Women, War & Peace series, will be shown. It will also feature a panel discussion after the film with series executive producer Abigail E. Disney, Ambassador Swanee Hunt, Dr. Amani El Jack, and Sahana Dharmapuri.
The film and panel discussion focuses on the role and impact of women in war and peace. This is an incredibly timely topic, with 3 women peace-builders winning the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize, the Obama Administration's December announcement of the US National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, and Secretary Clinton's recent comments on the lack of women at high-level security talks.
