Why apply for an appointment to a board or commission?

California needs the input of both women and men in making public policy. Many public policy decisions made by boards and commissions have a significant impact on the lives of women, yet women are underrepresented or nonexistent on many of these decision-making boards. Would you like to have a voice in how government makes policies that affect your pocketbook, your health, and your community? Well, you CAN be part of the decision-making process by serving on a public board or commission that makes these policies. State and local governments regularly make appointments to a variety of panels that either make policy or advise officials on what to do. Serving on a board or commission can be a very satisfying experience as you will be contributing to your community and your future. By applying for an appointment you can open a door to wonderful opportunities.
