Or did it? 1992's dramatic increase in women elected to political office, strong push for women's rights, and ardent focus on women's issues did not stop at year's end. Rather, the Year of the Woman may be fondly remembered as the spark that caught. In the spirit of building upon past successes, the WBA is sponsoring New Year's Resolutions, a showcase event featuring time management, finan- cial planning, and professional image workshops complemented by a dinner program on Sustaining the Year of the Woman which will spotlight Ellen R.

The seminars and dinner program will be held on February 16, 1993 at the ANA/ Westin Hotel, 2400 M Street, NW, Washington D.C., from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. EMILY's List, an acronym for Early Money is Like Yeast (it makes dough rise), is the nation's largest funding source of federal campaigns.
