Workplace Survey for LGBTQ-Identified Women

Dear MPIPP Community, Partners, Friends, and Colleagues:

Your experiences matter. UM's Gender and Respect in Organizations research group is launching a new study of women's work lives in Michigan.

The goal of this Michigan Women Work (MWW) project is to understand the successes, stories, and struggles of women around the state from diverse backgrounds and fields of employment. We very much hope to include LGBTQ voices in this research.

We invite LGBTQ-identified women in the paid workforce to take 2-3 minutes to fill out a brief "snapshot" survey, available at www.miwomenwork.org. Interested participants will then have the opportunity to complete a longer paper-based survey via mail (in return for $10 compensation and a summary report of our findings).*

Your responses are very important to the success of this research, which many benefit residents of Michigan. You will be able to view findings from this study on our website starting Fall 2010.

Go to: www.MIWomenWork.org.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding the study, at mww2010@umich.edu.

Thank you for your time and input.
