WOMEN'S RESOURCES
& LINKS The Commission has created this clearinghouse of links to information about organizations and agencies that focus on issues relevant to women and girls. This clearinghouse is a tool to serve the women and girls in the City. Because the Commission does not provide direct services, when you contact the Commission office with a question or inquiry, the staff will access the clearinghouse links to refer you to an organization that may serve your particular need or answer your question. Please feel free to contact our staff liaison for more information. If you represent an organization that serves women and girls and want to be a part of our clearinghouse, please contact us. Include your name, organization, street address, city, state, zip, phone, fax, email and website.
