history — women's commission peke 4 have struggled to educate themselves about effective ways to represent the needs of women in local government. First, Commission members and staff attended several State and national training conferences. , Then, in 1979, the Commission organized its own leadership training conference which focused on leadership roles for women in local government. Subsequent ' training conferences were held in 1980 and 1981 with the focus expanding to all areas of leadership training. - In all of its work the Commission has been parsimonious in its expenditures of County tax dollars. In its six years it has spent less than $45,000 of tax dollars, with last year's expenditures just a few dollars over $16,000 -- the Resource Guide alone was worth that much, . Using care to find other funding resources, to work with other agencies, to budget: carefully, and using the extraordinary willingness of women in the —community to dedicate enormous numbers of volunteer hours to projects they felt were of great value, the Orange County Commission for Women.has been and exceptionally "good buy" for the Orange County taxpayers over the past six years.
