The Sloan Network has added a new topic page! We are pleased to announce the addition of the Dependent Care: Tax Assistance topic page. In process topic pages include Older Workers: Overview, Part-Time Work, and Overwork.

Visit the Work-Family Bills & Statutes page (http://wfnetwork.bc.edu/bills.php) to view an overview of the bills that have been proposed and the laws that have been passed in various states that are relevant to work-family issues.

Results of the first Sloan Network poll are in. The results indicate that our respondents have noticed some positive change in the "culture" of work-family which could be related to their perceptions of increased use of flexible work options. In addition, two-thirds (69.7%) of the respondents felt that work/family and work/life issues are "more discussible” at the workplace, compared to 5 years ago. Thank you to all of the affiliates that participated.

Best regards,

Marcie, Janet, Tina, and Sandee
