TO RECOGNIZE THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1994, AS "TAKE OUR DAUGHTERS TO WORK DAY" AND TO COMMEND EMPLOYERS AND THOSE PARTICIPATING FOR CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG WOMEN TO BEGIN LOOKING TO THEIR FUTURES IN THE WORK FORCE WITH REALISM AND OPTIMISM.
Whereas, on April 28, 1993, nearly a million American girls and their parents made history by participating in the first "Take Our Daughters to Work Day"; and
Whereas, across the country thousands of girls ages nine to fifteen accompanied parents, relatives, teachers, and family friends to work to gain firsthand exposure to the American workplace; and
Whereas, recent studies indicate adolescence takes a greater toll on the self esteem of girls than on boys and that exposure to the work environment yields many benefits; and
Whereas, the number of women in the workplace has been steadily increasing since World War II and by the year 2000, two out of three new entrants into the labor force will be women; and
Whereas, by participating in the "Take Our Daughters to Work Day", young women are given an opportunity to look to their futures with realism and optimism based on their own firsthand experiences. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That Thursday, April 28, 1994, is recognized as "Take Our Daughters to Work Day" and that the employers, parents, and young women participating in this event are commended for creating the opportunity for these young women to begin looking to their futures in the workplace with realism and optimism.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Donna Jordan, Coordinator, Take Our Daughters to Work Day, Post Office Box 210875, Columbia, South Carolina 29221-0875.
