Women's Commission

The Women's Commission informs and advises the City Council on policy issues affecting women. The Commission monitors the well-being of all women in Fort Collins, identifies, studies, and documents issues of concern to women, and recommends and facilitates action to address the needs and solve the problems that women face. The Commission also commemorates the achievements of women in our community and celebrates various milestones by sponsoring Mayoral Proclamations for Women's History Month and Women's Equality Day, conducting an annual essay contest in the public schools regarding individual women who have been role models, and awarding the Marcile N. Wood Award each year to recognize a woman who has contributed significantly to the status of women in Fort Collins.
