Honoring Women Leaders
We had an incredible time at the Power of Us event hosted by Leadership California on April 28, 2025, which celebrated women in leadership. This remarkable event brought together six women-led organizations dedicated to empowering women, including the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, California Women Lead, the California Legislative Women’s Caucus, She Shares Conversation Series, and the Women’s Foundation California.

About the Commission
For nearly 60 years, the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls has identified and worked to eliminate inequities in state laws, practices, and conditions that affect California’s women and girls. Established as a state agency with 17 appointed commissioners in 1965, the Commission regularly assesses gender equity in health, safety, employment, education, and equal representation in the military, and the media. The Commission provides leadership through research, policy and program development, education, outreach and collaboration, advocacy, and strategic partnerships.
All references to “women and girls” include gender-expansive individuals, cis women and girls, trans women and girls, nonbinary individuals, gender-nonconforming individuals, genderqueer individuals, and any women or girl identified individuals.
