Dear Coalition for Justice Family and Friends,
I am pleased to inform you that I am one of 21 out of 200 people recently appointed by Montgomery County Commissioners to serve on the County Commission for Women. The Commission will seek and increase county collaboration with outside stakeholders, different levels of government, and organizations focused on improving the lives of women in Montgomery County. The Commission is also charged with recommending policies and initiatives, as well as advising the Board of Commissioners and the County’s Chief DEI Officer on issues relating to gender and wage equality, discrimination and bias, eliminating violence against women, and promoting opportunities in entrepreneurship, education and more.
As a long-time community advocate, activist, a positive change-maker, and an influencer on issues relating to women and girls, I am extremely excited to be able to advise the County on initiatives to promote opportunities for women and girls, reduce gender inequality and discrimination, and to collaborate with Montgomery County organizations and institutions.
