The San Mateo County LGBTQ Commission has 5 vacancies to fill! Besides Commissioners who are concluding terms, there are people who are moving out of the area which makes them unable to complete their term.
Members of the public have the opportunity to serve in an advisory capacity to address issues focused on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer communities. Currently, the Commission is working hard with the community to gather feedback on proposed policies and ideas to recommend to the Board of Supervisors and the County Office of Education. These proposed policies and ideas were formed based on the results of the 2017-2018 Wellness Survey that the Commission administered and analyzed.
