The Blue Ribbon Commission on the Establishment of a Sacramento County Women's Commission (BRC) is an interim commission with a mandate to advise the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors and public about the viability of establishing a permanent women's commission in Sacramento County.
Established by unanimous vote of the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors on July 27, 2019, the BRC is tasked with advising the Board of Supervisors and public about the structure, role, value and responsibilities of a Sacramento County Women's Commission. The BRC meets monthly and has five Ad Hoc Advisory Committees that meet regularly and are open to public participation. We invite you to join our work and support the establishment of a commission for women and girls in Sacramento County!
