The Women's Advisory Committee on Poverty is a group of national women's organizations that meet to discuss ways to improve the economic situation for women. The Committee is chaired by Mrs. Fred Harris, and its members include presidents of women's colleges, attorneys, and educators. The Committee's four basic purposes are to coordinate efforts of women's groups, evaluate the program's impact on women, help educate the public on the purposes of the program, and coordinate the planning of the annual Conference on Women in the War on Poverty.
