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.
