The Contra Costa Commission for Women was formed to educate the community and advise the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and other entities on the issues relating to the changing social and economic conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged.
The Committee consists of 20 members and one alternate, including:
- Five district representatives; (one from each supervisorial; districts)

- One at large alternate
The five district representatives are nominated for a three year term by each of the five members of the Board of Supervisors. The fifteen at large members and one at large alternate are nominated by the CCCW membership committee and forwarded to the full CCCW.

Candidates will not be appointed to the Commission.
