What is their innovative solution?
How can this be applied to Meadville?
The majority of employers within the city are large, corporate owned businesses like Walmart or Ainsworth. Creating and implementing gender equality programs in these companies would be more difficult because it requires a change to the entire, nationwide system. Small businesses in Meadville have the power to take these initiatives and implement them into their own business plans. Equality doesn’t always have to occur at a large scale, if many businesses in Meadville begin equality reviews, then the whole atmosphere of gender equality in Meadville could change.
