Branch Meeting
Massachusetts Commission
on the Status of Women
March 11th at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom
Gabrielle Jackson, an Eastern Regional Commissioner, from the MA Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW) will join us to share information about the MCSW. The mission of the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW) is to advance women toward full equality in all areas and to promote rights and opportunities for all women. The Commission exists to provide a permanent, effective voice for women and girls across Massachusetts, and represents fundamental freedoms, basic rights, and the full enjoyment of life for all throughout their lives. There are eleven county and regional commissions and each regional commission consists of 9-13 persons who are appointed by the MCSW to a 1-3 initial term. As part of their mission they run several programs to promote rights and opportunities for all women and girls across Massachusetts such as Commonwealth Heroines, Girls Empowerment Leadership, Advocacy Day, and Speakers Bureau. As you can see their mission and programs align nicely with AAUW’s, so I hope you’ll join the Zoom meeting on Tuesday, March 11th to hear more about this organization. In the meantime you can check out their website: MA Commission on the Status of Women. https://masscsw.org/
