RECOMMENDATIONS

We as Power Queens, and the 'producers' of the future work force for ECG, recommend the following to management:
  • The issue of creating and strengthening appropriate mechanism to monitor the access of women in ECG to senior levels of decision making

QUEENS ARE WORRIED

Despite the educational advances made by women in ECG, women's participation in high level decision making remain negligible.
Undeniably, slow progress towards equality has been made, this is good news but you will agree with me that it is not enough!
It is time to move from numbers to influence, from numerical to strategic presence in decision making.
We therefore call on management for positive and systematic changes to bring about gender balance through gender mainstreaming in all spheres of work at ECG.

CONGRESS

Power Queens Club had their 6th biennal congress at the Elmina Beach Resort from the 7th to 10th September, 2006.
Easternqueens were represented by Margaret Badddoo, Emily Darko Agyei, Margaret Hammond and Rosina Amankwaah.

The theme for the congress was " Gender and decision making at the work place........challenges sand prospects"

We were fortunate to have the Managing Director of ECG, Mr. Stephen Akuoko to grace the congress.
He thanked the National Executive Members for inviting Management to the 6th biennial congress. He said the theme chosen evokes important undertones to both gender advocates and policy makers at work place.
He saluted the few frontline managers of ECG who have braved their perculiar challenges and proven competent in various areas of operations.
