Welcome to the website of the Commission. We are a non-partisan body with a focus on raising awareness and celebrating the contributions and successes of all Floridians, along with providing a collaborate platform for those seeking information on issues that affect women, girls and their families in our state.
Our goal is to provide communication, promotion, and collaboration among the hundreds of organizations working in all 67 counties that are focused on the welfare of the women of Florida. We are all interested in improving the well-being of Florida women and girls – and by extension, all Floridians. In doing so, we strive to be a resource for lawmakers, businesses, and residents so they have a better understanding of these important issues.
We hope that you find the events, resources, and opportunities posted on our site valuable. We try to maintain up-to-date listings to stay current with the many activities and resources for and about women in Florida, but we can only do that with your help. Please make certain we have your contact information and please send us information on your events and activities so that we can provide one more resource to those in our state focused on this important topic.
Members of the public are welcome to attend our Commission meetings and events. We encourage all who are interested in issues facing women in Florida contact us with questions and ideas.
