WOMEN'S DIVISION 1959 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE 1625 EYE STREET, N. W. WASHINGTON 6, D. C. WOMEN IN STATE APPOINTIVE POSITIONS The advances of women in winning appointments to high State and Territorial Government positions - and the scope of their responsibilities in these posts - are truly noteworthy. Women hold top appointive posts in every State of the union, except Alaska, having been named to these positions by Governors or by key State adminis- tration officials. They serve in Governors' Cabinets, as chiefs and deputy chiefs of departments, as members of commissions on public welfare, public utilities, employment security, fiscal affairs, public personnel, education. They serve as judges, clerks of courts, and in a variety of other appointive judicial posts. Following is a list by State of 875 women, showing their appointive positions, based on currently available information. It is important to note that this survey DOES NOT LIST ALL WOMEN APPOINTIVE OFFICE-HOLDERS or cover every scope of women's work. It does endeavor to collate as much information as the States have contributed on the character of work in which women officials are engaged, and the heavier responsibilities and opportunities being extended to them.

C.\nWOMEN IN STATE APPOINTIVE POSITIONS\nThe advances of women in winning appointments to high State and Territorial\nGovernment positions - and the scope of their responsibilities in these posts -\nare truly noteworthy.\nWomen hold top appointive posts in every State of the union, except Alaska,\nhaving been named to these positions by Governors or by key State adminis-\ntration officials. They serve in Governors' Cabinets, as chiefs and deputy\nchiefs of departments, as members of commissions on public welfare, public\nutilities, employment security, fiscal affairs, public personnel, education.\nThey serve as judges, clerks of courts, and in a variety of other appointive\njudicial posts.\nFollowing is a list by State of 875 women, showing their appointive positions,\nbased on currently available information. It is important to note that this survey\nDOES NOT LIST ALL WOMEN APPOINTIVE OFFICE-HOLDERS or cover every\nscope of women's work. It does endeavor to collate as much information as the\nStates have contributed on the character of work in which women officials are\nengaged, and the heavier responsibilities and opportunities being extended to\nthem.
