Building on the CCAR salary survey data, this session will focus on practical interventions that can be brought to any Reform organization in order to ensure women are paid justly within the Reform Movement. Michael Gan will share insights into the culture which perpetuates pay inequality and some of the approaches to overcoming these biases. We will also discuss how to raise this important issue within our own synagogues and institutions. This session is part of an ongoing initiative to narrow the wage gap within the Reform Movement; WRJ and WRN have secured a significant grant to help further these efforts. Marking the extra time the average American woman needs to work to overcome the wage gap, Equal Pay Day is April 4th. The content of this session will help rabbis talk about the significance of this date within their institutions, as well as advocate for themselves and colleagues.
