Administrative History

The Task Force on Equal Employment Opportunities for Women in New York State Government was established by Governor Malcolm Wilson in 1973. The Task Force was chaired by Rhea Eckel Clark, Director of the New York State Office for the Aging. Its recommendations, published in an August 1974 report, resulted in the Governor's Executive Order Number 11 (September 24, 1974) establishing state agency guidelines to promote recruitment, training, and advancement of women in state government.
