2. Support policies and professional development opportunities aimed at the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women faculty.
3. Support a positive work environment, increased diversity, partner relocation assistance, and improved connections within and outside of Maine.
4. Engage the University of Maine System and the system-wide faculty union to further ADVANCE goals.
