South Carolina Federal Women's Program

The South Carolina Federal Women's Program (FWP) seeks to ensure that NRCS institutes, plans, and takes affirmative steps to provide equal opportunity to women in all areas of employment by evaluating activities and programs affecting women in the state. The Federal Women's Program helps to remove barriers women may face in reaching their full potential in receiving equal consideration in the workplace.  Some duties of the FWP manager include disseminating information to all employees in the state during Women's History Month, participating in field office civil rights reviews, participating in the Interagency of Federal Women Program Managers activities and programs, and keeping women in the state aware of resources and programs that would enhance their opportunities and advancement.

Myra Jones is the FWP Manager in South Carolina. She is a Soil Scientist in Laurens County, and began her career with NRCS in South Carolina in 2006. She has a BS degree in Crop and Soil Environmental Science with a Minor in Forest Resource Management from Clemson University.
