Commission on Gender Equity 07-13-2026

The City of Norwalk Connecticut's Commission on Gender Equity held a hybrid meeting on July 13, 2026, focusing primarily on internal governance and outreach strategies. Key procurement-related discussions included the dissolution of the commission's bylaws in favor of operating solely under the city ordinance, a motion that was passed unanimously. The commission also discussed developing a social media strategy to increase public engagement, with plans to start small using Instagram and Facebook, and to create a simplified interim social media plan. Additionally, the commission reviewed a draft calendar of events to coordinate participation and content creation for social media. While no direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, the meeting addressed procedural and operational planning that could influence future outreach and engagement activities. The commission also noted upcoming vacancies and the need for new appointments and officer elections in the fall.
