The resolution acknowledges the WFRI's crucial role in providing data and research to inform policymakers and community leaders on critical issues like paid family leave and reproductive health access, and for its work in fostering leadership and strengthening democracy. It further directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of this resolution to the CEO of the WFRI, honoring their legacy and ongoing contributions to gender equity in the state.
