NYCOM Women's Advisory Committee

The goal of the Women’s Advisory Committee is to provide women in city and village office with a community and forum for sharing best practices. Additionally, the Women’s Advisory Committee makes recommendations to NYCOM’s Executive Committee and staff to assist in developing sessions and networking opportunities for NYCOM’s female constituency.

The Women’s Advisory Committee is comprised of elected and appointed officials from NYCOM member communities. In addition, each of the female mayors seated on the NYCOM Executive Committee will also serve as ex-officio members of the Women’s Advisory Committee. Meetings of the Women’s Advisory Committee are held virtually and in conjunction with NYCOM’s conferences.
