About the Miami-Dade County Commission for Women:

The Commission for women is part of the Office of Community Relations located in the Office of the County Manager. Its 26 members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to serve in an advisory capacity to them, to the community and to all agencies and persons in Miami-Dade County “with respect to all matters pertaining to the status of women.”

The membership of the Commission for Women reflects the diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds represented in Miami-Dade County so that the concerns of all women are addressed by the Commission for Women. The Commission for Women monitors, among other things, the condition of women as related to discrimination, employment, education, and attitudes toward women in the community.
