Our agency is small in both staff size and budget. Eleven citizen members, appointed by the Governor for three-year terms, oversee the Commission's projects and support of issues. Six state agency department heads also serve as ex-officio members. The Commission holds public meetings quarterly throughout the state and encourages public input on goals and projects. Because of our limited resources, the Women's Commission actively seeks partnerships for its projects and outreach efforts.
Collaborators contribute information, expertise, volunteers, money or other resources.
The Commission works with other government agencies, non-profit groups and private businesses, playing a vital role as a convener and facilitator on statewide projects affecting women.
