Laredo Commission for Women Meeting, 10/13/2026

The City of Laredo Commission for Women met on October 13, 2026, to review its 2026–27 action plan. Members discussed revising the plan’s women’s leadership conference and communications initiatives, including clarifying how the conference would differ from other events and how the commission could help women use current communication tools. The commission also discussed voter education and engagement and broadening a health initiative beyond cancer awareness to women’s health risk factors.

Members anticipated seeking financial assistance from City Council for the leadership conference and compiling information on prior conference expenses and support or donations from Falcon Bank. No specific amount, contract, vendor selection, or procurement approval was identified. A motion passed to accept the action plan subject to revisions to items four and six and circulation of the revised version before its presentation to City Council on November 2. A committee chair was appointed for the conference; the next commission meeting was set for November 10 at 5:30 p.m.
