The Montgomery County Commission for Women (CFW) is both an advisory board and a department of the Montgomery County Government. The advisory board, comprised of 15 volunteer citizens from the community:

  • focuses primarily on identifying inequities in laws, policies, practices and procedures, and recommending and promoting remedies
  • conducts research and investigations, analyzes economic, political, and social trends, and provides education on women's issues in the community
  • holds hearings and publishes informational materials
  • holds an annual legislative briefing in conjunction with many other women's organizations
  • sets priority projects annually

History

The Commission for Women (CFW) was established by an act of law in 1972 to advocate for equal rights for women.
