-----------------------------------------------------------------
The coordinator of the Women's Directorate, Brigitte Neumann, has
been seconded to the Advisory Council on the Status of Women. She
will manage the day-to-day affairs of the council on an interim
basis.

"This secondment ensures continuity while we consider ways to
strengthen and reorganize these two agencies," said Eleanor
Norrie, Minister responsible for both the directorate and for
administration of the Advisory Council on the Status of Women
Act.

"I look forward to working in consultation with the council to
better serve the women of Nova Scotia," says Mrs. Norrie. "An
announcement will be made when that process is completed."
