Everett Koop Award; the Alzheimer’s Association Rosemary Award, and many others.

Jane’s research on women at midlife already has led to coverage by TIME magazine, as well as The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune and other publications. She was asked to be a featured writer in a special TIME report on women at midlife.

She has appeared on the Today Show and was recently a featured speaker at the Texas Governor’s Conference for Women, the Massachusetts Governor’s Conference for Women and the Xerox Women’s Alliance. Los Angeles CBS-TV commentator Stacey Butler featured Jane Glenn Haas and WomanSage in a two-part series on the Channel 2 evening news in December.

Jane Haas was in the middle of writing her second book before she had stroke complications. Her unfinished book, “Shift Happens” is about the many ways women deal with second midlife crisis events – from loss of a job to divorce and widowhood. She has collected more than 3,800 surveys from midlife women world-wide talking about how their lives are different from their mothers’. The survey is posted on the www.womansage.org web site.

As a testimony to her vision, in less than four years, WomanSage has become a national organization reaching more than 6,000 women with regular e-mails, web site updates and blogs (www.womansage.org) and a newsletter. There are four established chapters and more than 20 in formation.
