Join a Committee
To be more closely aligned with the six dimensions of women and girls’ wellbeing in our community, we have six standing Committees including Economic Security, Education, Employment & Earnings, Health & Development, Political Equity, and Violence & Safety, as well as subcommittees on topics such as Single Mothers, Housing & Homeless, Maternal Health, Sexual Violence, etc.
As a citizens advisory committee, the CSWG welcomes all members of the public to any meeting. All meetings, both for the full Commission and for any Committees, are publicly noticed online on the City of Tallahassee Calendar, and on the Leon County Calendar. We expanded membership of the Committees to include former CSWG commissioners, direct service organizations, and experts working on those issues associated with the committee. Our Community Committee Members play a vital role in the work of the Committees and bring invaluable expertise, resources, connections, and research to the CSWG.
We welcome any interested citizens in the Tallahassee-Leon County area to join one of the six Committees interested in improving the well-being of women and girls in our community. Most committees meet virtually for easy accessibility and have one regularly scheduled monthly meeting.
Please contact us at 850-222-2747 or via email at CSWGstaff@theoasiscenter.net if you have any questions about joining as a Community Committee Member (CCM).
