The Allegany County Commission For
Women wants the women and girls of Allegany County to be aware of
the opportunities available to them in our state and the nation, the
knowledge of what women have accomplished in the professional and
non-professional areas, and give them some support to follow their
dreams.
We meet on the 1st
Wednesday of every month at 5 p.m. at the Washington Street Library,
Cumberland.
The Maryland Commission for Women
was established in 1965 by executive order of Governor J. Millard Tawes. The Allegany County Commission for Women is a commission of

purpose of promoting social, economic, and political equality for
women by promoting positive
self-image, promoting awareness of
