members; and
• One at large alternate.
The five district representatives are nominated for a three year term by each other the five
members of the Board of Supervisors. The twenty at large members and one at large
alternate are nominated by the CCCW membership committee and forwarded to the full
CCCW. All nominated appointments to the CCCW are reviewed by the Internal
Operations Committee (IOC) and referred to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
CCCW terms are for three years and they are staggered across the membership. A current
CCCW roster, as of January 15, 2008, is attached for your information (Attachment A).
Current Status of Appointments
The CCCW has been recruiting applicants on an ongoing basis to fill the vacant seats. A
press release was distributed to major news media in the County and posted on County
bulletin boards. The Commission received two applications and invited all applicants to
be interviewed. On October 20, 2009, the CCCW membership committee interviewed
one applicant. The committee assessed the applicant based on the following criteria:
• Familiarity with and understanding of the diverse issues facing women in the county
• Specific experience, knowledge or interest in women’s issues in the county
• The potential to expand the CCCW’s experience and capacity to develop
recommendations for the activities of the Commission
• Potential for conflicts of interest
• Diversity with respect to ethnic background, gender, and geographic representation
The membership committee unanimously approved the above recommendation for a new
appointment.
As of October 21, 2009 there are 11 at large vacancies, the at large alternate seat and the
District I seat is vacant. These vacancies have the following terms:
At Large #14, #15, 20
February 28, 2011
At Large #12, #16, 17, Alternate February 28, 2012
At Large #3, #9, #10, #18, District I February 28. 2010
If the appointment recommended in this memorandum are ultimately approved, one seat
would be filled. The vacancies remaining after approval would be ten at large seats, one
alternate and the District I.
At Large #12, #16, 17, Alternate February 28, 2012
At Large #3, #9, #10, #18, District 1 February 28. 2010
At Large #14, #15, #20 February 28, 2011
Since May 2004, the CCCW has had extremely limited staff support and no budget
provided by the County. However, the CCCW membership committee is continuing its
recruiting efforts and plans to fill the remaining vacancies within the next few months.
