Appointed by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, the Commission for Women is an advisory group that promotes the well-being, equity, and equal status of women. Formed in 1973, the Commission has been actively working to better the community for more than 47 years. The Commission is comprised of a diverse group of energetic and committed women who are active community members representing the five supervisorial districts. To help women in need, the Commission may collaborate with other agencies and commissions; facilitate, recognize, and recommend programs; gather and disseminate information; conduct public meetings, and advise the County Board of Supervisors.
