Upon approval by the City Council, the Commission was reinstated and met on July 26, 2021 after a pause since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this meeting the Commission received an orientation and Brown Act training from the City Attorney's Office consistent with City Council direction, elected a Chair and Vice Chair from its members for one-year terms in accordance with the City's Municipal Code, discussed the 2021 "It's All About Me" Women's Health Conference and Business Expo, and identified two areas of focus for developing a Work Plan for the 2021-2022 year.
The Commission most recently met on September 27, 2021 after voting in favor to cancel its meeting for August 23 2021 consistent with past practice. At the September meeting the Commission received an update from staff regarding the ongoing efforts related to the 2021 Women's Health Conference, discussed its advertisement placement for the Women's Health Conference, and continued its discussion of potential Work Plan items for the 2021-2022 year.
