A Message From Our Chair Minimize

Picture of LisaWelcome to the County of Riverside Commission for Women’s website.  We have revamped our website and look forward to hearing what you think about it!

As a County employee for over 21 years, I am very familiar with the County system and its capacity to provide services and support to the community.  I feel a strong connection and passion for the issues faced by the women of Riverside County.  Additionally, as the new  2009/2010 Commission Chair, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to lead this very talented Commission in the direction of providing support and advocacy. I believe through vision, organization, leadership and relationships, there is an opportunity for empowerment and growth.

The Commission's History and Mission Minimize

In 1976, the County of Riverside Board of Supervisors established a temporary Committee on the Status of Women, which was made permanent in 1978. In 1983, the committee was elevated to commission status. In 1987, the name was modernized from Commission on the Status of Women to its current title of the Commission for Women.

The Commission for Women was established to be the premier facilitator and advocate for women's issues in Riverside County. Through our networks with other commissions and women's groups throughout the County, state and region, the commission projects our voice and advocates for support, diversity and change on behalf of women in this County.
 
  

Looking Ahead...    
The Commission for Women will continue to:
  • Identify issues, concerns and needs affecting the status of women.
  • Prepare reports and recommendations to the County Board of Supervisors, creating a partnership for actions on important and timely issues.
  • Provide education and information regarding policies and legislative actions addressing women's needs.
  • Refer individuals and groups to appropriate services, organizations, and resources.
  • Promote use of community contacts and other women's commissions to increase visibility of women's issues and maximize the Commission's impact.
