ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 26, 2007 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. _~-~ <br />SUBJECT: Commission for Women (CFW) Bylaws Amendment <br />DEPARTMENT: Human Rights and Relations PUBLIG HEARING: (Y/N) ~ No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Bylaws with Proposed Tracked Changes James Spivey, 968-2288 <br />Bylaws with Changes Incorporated <br />PURPOSE: To review and -amend the Commission for Women's (CFW) Bylaws to include a <br />mission statement and other minor changes for the purpose of clarification. <br />BACKGROUND: The Orange. County Commission for Women was established on March 25, <br />1976. The agency was created as part of a statewide effort by the North Carolina Council on the <br />Status of Women to organize a network of Women's Councils for North Carolina counties. From <br />1976 to the present, the CFW has advised the BOCC on a number of causes including equal <br />employment opportunities for women, women business owners' issues and transportation. <br />EVENTS LEADING TO RECOMMENDED CHANGES - <br />/ During 2005, the CFW formed an Advocacy Subcommittee to direct its efforts towards <br />advocating on behalf of women and children in Orange County and the Advocacy <br />Subcommittee decided to create a mission statement for the Commission. The mission <br />statement was intended to be a clear statement of the primary issues and communities <br />the Commission would seek to identify and support. The issues were not meant to be <br />exclusive but illustrative. The mission statement was approved by the CFW on October <br />13, 2005. <br />/ At the same time, the CFW's Bylaws Subcommittee began reviewing the Bylaws and <br />making recommendations for revision because the Commission found the bylaws to be <br />unclear about attendance requirements, election of officers and other minor issues. The <br />Advocacy Subcommittee requested that the Bylaws Subcommittee include the mission <br />statement as part of the Bylaws Amendment. The Bylaws Subcommittee agreed. The <br />amended Bylaws were presented to the CFW on February 8, 2007. The members voted <br />unanimously to accept the recommended changes and request that the BOCC adopt the <br />CFW's recommended changes. <br />
