Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women

The Mayor’s Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW) serves to foster a closer relationship and a fuller exchange of ideas between women of respective Districts and City Councilmembers; to further the equal legal, social, political, economic, and educational opportunity and advancement of all women and men; to eliminate discrimination on the basis of sex in all phases of American society; to promote the dissemination of information on employment opportunities for women in the public sectors, and to provide counsel when and if necessary; and to encourage women to assume initiative and accept their responsibility in the removal of legal and other barriers to the realization of their basic human rights.

The MCSW is composed of 11 members: 10 District-appointed members appointed by their respective Councilmembers and one member appointed by the Mayor, along with two non-voting Associate Commissioners. Members each serve a two-year term of office concurrent with the term of the appointing City Councilmember. A quorum of six voting members is required to conduct business on the Commission's agenda.
