The Commission is made up of 17 adults and 2 youth who come from diverse professional and personal backgrounds, who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of women and girls in this County. We also strive to involve the community to help broaden resources and opportunities for women, to identify and remedy gender discrimination, and also to honor the achievements of San Mateo County women. Our Women's Hall of Fame and Young Women of Excellence Awards are a testament that women and girls make a tremendous difference in our communities. Some of the Commission's current projects include: conducting a gender analysis of County boards and commissions; organizing a clothing drive for women's work attire in collaboration with the Career Closet; developing a women's event calendar as part of outreach to local women's organizations; planning the Women's Hall of Fame; convening a legislative committee to review legislation involving women's issues; and collaborating with the San Mateo County Chapter of California Women Lead to encourage the development of women as political leaders. We cannot do this work alone! We need your help and we need your voice! We encourage your attendance at Commission meetings, held on the fourth Tuesday of most months, 6:30 PM at the County Office Building - 455 County Center, Redwood City, CA in conference room 101 (first floor).
