Appointments Project
Mayor William Peduto has partnered with UnitedWE and the City's Gender Equity Commission to launch the Appointments Project, an initiative to increase the number of women and women of color serving on the City of Pittsburgh's Boards, Authorities, and Commissions. We are pleased to partner locally with Chatham University Women's Institute, PUMP, Women and Girls Foundation of Southwestern Pennsylvania, and Executive Women's Council of Greater Pittsburgh.
Learn more in the press release announcing the initiative here. Read more on the national impact of the Appointments Project here.
"One of my administration's key goals is to take decision-making off Grant Street and place it back on Main Street. I am proud that 61% of the seats on Boards, Authorities and Commissions are held by women, but we can do even better- I encourage you to serve our city and help us build a more equitable Pittsburgh for all."- Mayor William Peduto
