The Miami-Dade County Commission for Women, established in 1971, is one of the first women’s commissions in Florida. There are several other women’s commissions in Florida at the local and state level. Most of these women’s commissions are members of the National Association of Commissions for Women, based in Washington, DC.
There are nine seats available in County Commission Districts 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13.
