We would like to congratulate our Director of Operations, Karriann Farrell Hinds, on her recent appointment to the Los Angeles County Commission for Women by Supervisor Sheila Kuehl (3rd District). The Commission for Women is charged with advocating for the lives and well being of women through building strong collaboration, sharing available resources, and educating and empowering through participation in the legislative process. Through its work, the Commission seeks to represent the interest and concerns of women of all races, ethnic and social backgrounds, religious convictions, sexual orientation and social circumstances. We look forward to working with Karriann and the Commission to continue advancing the cause of increasing the numbers of women serving in elected and appointed office across Los Angeles County and beyond.
