Dear Colleagues,

I would like to encourage you to join Section III, which was founded in 1981, and has continued to grow and develop with the changes in society. A recent article in Time Magazine, What Women Want Now-The State of the American Woman, indicated that a quiet revolution has changed the status of American women.  Things change slowly, and now we realize that they have changed completely.  It is expected that by the end of the year, for the first time in history, the majority of workers in the United States will be women-largely because the down-turn has hit men so hard.  40 percent of women are the primary breadwinners in their household, and their power has never been greater-and their choices have seldom been harder.  I urge you to look at our Web site and to join the men and women, who have found a home with Section III, and to explore scholarship, professional development, leadership skills, networking opportunities with us, as we explore and deepen our understanding of contemporary, gender related issues involving work, play, and family.  I look forward to welcoming you into the Section III family.

Warmly,

Marilyn N. Metzl, Ph.D., ABPP
Section III President
