Melrose Commission On Women

Melrose Commission On Women Our goal is to provide a unified voice to promote issues in the community, such as family policies, Strong women. Strong Melrose.

There is a direct correlation between the health and unity of a community and strength of its women and girls. The Melrose Commission on Women (“MCW”) works to study, understand, educate, and promote constructive action in areas of interest and concern to women and girls in the community. As a central voice representing the interests of women and girls in the community, the Commission facilitates

and promotes economic, health, safety, education, leadership, and advocacy opportunities for women, foster the advancement of women and girls toward full equality in all areas of life, and provides the Melrose community with a needed vehicle for information, advocacy, and action on issues affecting women. MCW is committed to diversity and seeks to improve the lives of women of all races, ethnicities, religions, ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Based on input and feedback of the community we serve and the Commission’s professional and personal experiences, we have crafted the following Strategic Plan for 2017. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dW4TYdsnUn0uccKK69GTfBfO6KXZz_lIpRTL4l7QPtA/edit?usp=sharing
