2012-10-10 Committee on the Status of Women Minutes

Home

Committee Clarification Katie Nova mentioned that it has been announced that we are now under the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and it gives a negative connotation by having our letterhead indicating the names of the Prosecutor and First Deputy. She mentioned that we are under the Mayor’s Office so it shouldn’t have the Prosecutor’s names on the letterhead. She suggested we check with Molly Lugo. Nancy Kelly explained that the Mayor’s office was redirecting some of the committees to other agencies and because by charter it authorizes the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office the responsibility of community education outreach that it was appropriate for the Prosecutor’s Office to obtain this committee (it wouldn’t be appropriate for Public Works or some other department to have this committee). She will check on whether we need the names of the Prosecuting Attorney next to the logo. Farrah Gomes said she’ll contact Darcy and ask if she submitted an application to be on the committee.
