Women's Community Leadership Network is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that equips women with the skills to seek appointed and elected positions. We accomplish this by offering training, networking opportunities, and forums on public policy and community issues.

The Commission on the Status of Women, an advisory body to the Board of Supervisors, seeks to improve the quality of life for women of all ages in San Mateo County. Through strategic partnerships and collaboration, the commission identifies women's needs, advises the board of supervisors, and educates the community on matters concerning women.
