• To continue to develop strategic alliances with existing and emerging Canadian federations to further objectives of access and other joint efforts
• To gain agreement on draft policies and guidelines from participating national women's groups
• To develop avenues of access to workplace giving with the federal government, the provincial governments, other workplaces including completion of access documents where possible
• To determine the interest of national women's groups in exploring profit-making ventures as a secondary option for raising revenue
