Commission on the Status of Women

YOU Have a Voice!

In partnership with you — the women of Sonoma County — we represent your needs, issues, and concerns to our local government officials to ensure that women's issues are in the forefront when considering policy and actions that will affect women on local, state, and national levels.

We currently have three openings, two in the 3^rd District and one in the 4^th District. Also, a number of our ad hoc committees and liaison groups are accepting volunteers at this time. Please consider getting involved.
