Information
Referral History:
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 adopting policy amendments governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the Board of Supervisors. Included in this resolution was a requirement that applications for at large/countywide seats be reviewed by a Board of Supervisors committee.

The Contra Costa Commission for Women and Girls (CCCWG) was formed 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.”

The Commission consists of 15 members and one Alternate At-Large member including: five district representatives (one from each supervisorial district), ten At-Large members, and one Alternate. The five district representatives are nominated for a four year term by each member of the Board of Supervisors. The ten At-Large members and the one alternate are nominated by the CCCWG Membership Committee and forwarded to the full CCCWG. The full CCCWG then makes appointment recommendations to the Family and Human Services Committee. All Commission seat terms are for a period of four (4) years with staggered expiration dates.
Referral Update:
Ms. Destiny Briscoe applied to serve on the CCCWG on March 16, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the CCCWG voted to approve the recommendation of her appointment to the At Large 9 seat on the Commission, with a term expiring February 28, 2026.
