BACKGROUND:

In 1984, the Board created the Commission on the Status of Women to provide leadership to develop policies, programs and legislation that address the needs of women, girls and families.

DISCUSSION:
|
The membership on this Commission has fluctuate based upon the needs of the Commission. In 2002, the Board set membership at 17 adults and 2 youth Commissioners.
