March is Women's History Month

To honor the originality, beauty, imagination, and multiple
dimensions of women’s lives, Women’s Art: Women’s Vision is the
2008 theme for National Women’s History Month.
The history of women and art is quintessential women’s history. It is
the story of amazing women’s accomplishments acclaimed at the time but
written out of history. For more information, go to

The EEO Statement
The EEO statement is required on all materials with a non-internal audience.
It is required on partnership pieces to which we lend our logo, if we have
contributed funds for the publication.
The reference on this question is Departmental Regulation 4300-3, Equal
Opportunity Public Notification Policy, issued by the USDA Office of Civil
Rights, November 16, 1999.
This states that the "nondiscrimination statements shall be used in the next
issuance of publications, immediately after the approval date of this
regulation." On page 3, the regulation specifies that "the statement...shall
be...included, in full, on all materials (includes print and non-print, audio,
video, Internet, etc.) produced by UDSA agencies..." This would include
partnership pieces to which we contribute funds for printing, etc.
On page 4, the regulation notes: "If the material is too small to permit the
full statement to be included, the material will at minimum include the
statement, in print size no smaller than the text, that "The USDA is an equal
opportunity provider and employer."
