Heather Boushey spoke today at the Business and Professional Women’s 2006 Policy & Action Conference on the subject, How Research Impacts Policy. Having several examples to choose from, she discussed CEPR’s work on Social Security, the minimum wage, and John Schmitt and Dean Baker’s new paper on the Current Population Survey. Joining Heather on the panel were Sherryn Craig (American Cancer Society), Samir Luther (Human Rights Campaign Foundation), and Ana Unruh Cohen (Center for American Progress). Heather also presented a poster at the conference on her paper “Are Women Opting Out? Debunking the Myth,” which was very well received.
