U.S. Representative-Gwen Moore

Hello, my blog will be in regard to "United States congresswoman Gwen Moore". I will start my blog in describing Representative Gwen Moore's background. First, "congresswoman Gwen Moore is a member of the prestigous House Committee on Financial Services, which has jurisdiction over the banking, insurance and housing industries". According to her biography, "she serves on three subcommittees of the House Committee on Financial Services", which includes the Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government Sponsored Enterprises; the International Monetary Policy Subcommittee; and the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee. Representative Gwen Moore has also been appointed to the House Budget Committee, which oversees the federal budget process, reviews all bills and resolution on the budget, and monitors agencies and programs funded from the budget process.

Also according to her biography, "In addition to her committee work, Representative Gwen Moore was elected vice chair of the Congressional Women's caucus by her fellow female colleagues. She has held this position since January 2009. In this capacity she has become a leader on issues like health insurance reform, domestic violence and maternal and infant mortality". Also according to her biography, "Congresswoman Gwen Moore has been tapped as a leader on world affairs for four consecutive years as a United States delegate to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) Parlimentary Assembly". The biography goes on to say, "In this role, Representative Gwen Moore has pushed the OSCE nations to address the high global maternal mortality rate".

TRIO includes six outreach and support programs targeted to search and assist low-income, first generation college students--and students with disabilities--to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post baccalaureate programs"
