Aid for women in business
The problems that women in
business face in terms of effective
management are similar to those fac-
ed by men. However, women tend to
bring to management a more per-
sonal approach that affects their at-
titude towards motivation, job
satisfaction, trust, career commit-
ment. leadership, communications.
prejudice and behaviour. A concern
for these aspects makes the applica-
tion of conventional management
criteria more difficult for a wornan.
"Women In Management" is the
Federal Business Development
Bank's newest addition to its on-going
and wide-ranging series of business
training seminars and will be
presented in London. February :i and
March 19; Guelph, February 11: and
Waterloo. March 18 by Eileen Sher-
wood, one of the Bank's most ex-
perienced Management Development
Officers.
The objective of the seminar is to
study certain types of behaviour com-
monly associated with the manage-
ment function and to learn how to
develop some of the basic manage-
ment skills needed to achieve a high
level of performance. The case study
method is used to address the follow-
ing list of topics: Management Func-
tions; Roles and Stereotypes; Oc-
cupational Behaviour; Power and
Leadership; Resolving Employee
Problems.
Take-home material provided at
the conclusion of the seminar will help
each participant apply the points
discussed during the full day learning
experience to her own situation.
This seminar will benefit women
relatively new to management as well
as those more experienced managers
who would like to become more effec-
tive in dealing with subordinates.

Institute provides vehicle
to network rural women
"Without vision the people perish,'
Certainly the idea put forth in 1897
had vision, it was also practical, for-
thright and a brave venture. Those
who caught the vision could not have
known how far reaching the organiza-
tion to be known as the Women's In-
stitute, could be in the influence
toward better homemaking and good
citizenship.
On February 19, 1987, the first for-
mal organization of a Women's !n-
stitute took place in Saltfleet
'township, Wentworth County,
through the combined efforts of
Erland Lee and his wife Janet with
the encouragement of Adelaide
!foodless. The branch was originally
known as the Stoney Creek Women's
Institute. From there the organization
has spread throughout the world. The
1Vomen's Institute own the Erland
Lee Museum Home which is open to
'he public.
The Women's Institute organization
provide rural women with the oppor-
tunity to broaden the scope of their
knowledge and abilities through par-
ticipation in meetings organized by
the local branch.
Women's Institutes in Ontario for
many years have helped women im-
prove their homes and communities.
Working for the good of all,
regardless of creed, race or political
beliefs they have flourished in almost
every community in Ontario.
Special educational sessions are
organized at District, Area, and Pro-
vincial levels to encourage women to
expand their outlook and learn to ex-
tend their influence as a motivating
force in todays world. Such an exam-
ple is the upcoming Community
outreach Seminar to be held on
February 28 at Southwold School.
Women's Institute members are en-
_uuraged to take a public stand on the
broader issues of the day through
resolutions and briefs.
The Women's Institute provides a
(Thiele and an environment to
( hallenge women who seek self im-
provement and personal enrichment.
They belong to a network that con-
nects Branches to Districts, to Areas
to Provincial, National and Interna-
tional organizations.
Within the London area there are
114 branches in 10 districts, who are
active in many ways; leading and
financing 411 clubs, holding adult
leadership courses through OMAF,
having up to date speakers al their
meetings, looking after the needs of
their community, through donations
of money, time and enthusiasm, Ox-
ford County have initiated the Butler
project to provide all schools in On-
tario and hopefully Canada with a
series of pictures of farm animals, the
Tweedsmuir Histories provide an up
to date and accurate history of the
community lot by lot, a valuable
source of information.
The Elgin Pioneer Museum and the
Southwold Earthworks are there
because Women's Institutes has a vi-
sion, the scholarship project provides
much needed funds to students to
complete post -secondary education.
An unjustified criticism levelled at
the Women's Institute is that it is not
meeting the needs of the younger
member. One fact is correct in that
those who join remain for many years
because they believe in the vision.
However each branch makes up their
own program to suit the needs of their
own community.
There are many young women join-
ing Women's Institute because they
see•what Women's Institute has ac-
complished in the past and what it will
accomplish in the future. Maybe the
younger members are not in all the
executive offices at all levels but they
are there. As young parents they will
in time take a more active role. After
all the motto of Women's Institute is
"For Home and Country".
The Women's Institute is very ac-
tive as they work to assist network all
the rural Women's Organizations in
Ontario. Their magazine Home and
Country is available to any women
and is used to promote all rural
organization not just Women's In-
stitutes. When the first Farm Women
Network Newsletter was printed it
was distributed through all Women's
Institute branches with copies of
Home and Country.
When the Women's Institute had
their Free Trade Seminar, all rural
organizations were invited. However
not all bothered to attend. As a vehi-
cle to network the rural women in On-
tario, the Women's Institute is an
organization that quietly without fan
fare is doing just that. If you are in-
terested in finding out more about
Women's Institute or the nearest

Agriculture and Food r OMAF ).
