BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls (CCCWG) was formed in 1984 to educate the community and advise the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on issues relating to the changing social and economic conditions of women in the County, with particular emphasis on the economically disadvantaged. The Commission's mission is, “to improve the economic status, social welfare, and overall quality of life for women in Contra Costa County.” In September 2017, the Internal Operations Committee held a discussion about problems that had been reported concerning the Commission for Women and Girls and has worked with the Commission to institute policy and Bylaws changes to address the issues that have hindered functioning of the Commission.
