BONUS BRIEF: COUNTY WOMEN SURVEY
MONTEREY COUNTY — The Monterey County Commission on the Status of Women is collecting data about the women in Monterey County, which will help inform the Commission on the issues top of mind for women. The Commission represents County women by informing and advising the Supervisors on these issues, problems and conditions. Commissioners strive to fulfill this mission through planning, organizing and advocacy, capitalizing on a diversity of knowledge, backgrounds and experiences. The Commission was established by a Resolution of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors in 1974 as an advocate for Monterey County women on matters that particularly affect women, including affordable and quality childcare, education, housing, health, equal pay, sexual harassment, community services and related areas. The short (3-5 minutes) survey is available online in English (tinyurl.com/yc3wb4ye) and Spanish (tinyurl.com/5yr6famv).
