Have you or someone you know ever been interested in getting more involved by being appointed to a local or state commission or board but never knew how?

Join me this coming Wednesday, October 13th at 6:30 PM (City Hall, Council Chambers) where I will hosting a training for the California Women's State Appointment Project 2010, which is aimed at encouraging and recruiting a rich, diverse pool of women from all corners of the state to apply for a board, commission, or agency appointment.

With new administrations coming in both at Oakland City Hall and the Governor's Office in Sacramento, it is an ideal time to learn how to get a seat at the table and be appointed to a board or commission.

At this training session, you will:

• Be guided through the application process
• Identify suitable board and commission openings in Oakland and on the state level
• Assess your strengths through a Personal Inventory Worksheet

Appointments Training
    When:  Wednesday, October 13th
               6:30 - 8 PM
    Where: Oakland City Hall, Council Chambers

These new administrations will be recruiting women from all backgrounds and for all level of positions - high level, paid and volunteer. Many of these boards and commissions need women to serve as public representatives, so don't think you need to be an expert in a specific area to apply! There are many women out there who are serving on boards and commissions and learning as they go! Click here to learn more about the California Women's State Appointment Project 2010.
