About the Survey

The National Association of Commissions for Women (NACW) is working with state women's commissions to reach as many women as possible, across the U.S., to participate Voices of Women in America survey.

NACW will collect all and analyze the data and develop a national report to be published in July 2020, in time for the Suffrage Centennial - the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment.  NACW will deliver the report to the President, Congress and the nation, outlining what the women of our country have told us are their concerns as women. 

As the Wisconsin state partner, the Women's Council will receive a copy of survey data submitted from women in our state, which can be analyzed separately to create a Wisconsin-specific report outlining what women in state highlight as their concerns. 

The National Association of Commissions for Women is 501(C)(3) organization representing the women’s advisory boards established by city, county and state governments across the country. The commissions for women/Commissions on the Status of Women were created specifically to advise their local governments on the concerns of women in their jurisdictions.
