The Commission for Women meeting held on August 1, 2025, in North Miami focused on planning upcoming events and strategies to engage the community effectively. The meeting began with a discussion on scheduling events for the last quarter of the year, confirming dates for September 6, October 4, November 1, and December 6. This sequence was agreed upon as the first quarter of their planning cycle.

A motion was made and unanimously approved to proceed with the outlined schedule. The commissioners emphasized the importance of logistics, particularly regarding the use of community centers and the need for city approval for any associated costs. Staff members were designated to handle administrative tasks, ensuring that all necessary arrangements would be made.

The conversation then shifted to marketing strategies to attract participants to the events. Commissioners discussed the necessity of creating promotional materials, such as flyers, and leveraging social media platforms for outreach. They agreed to collaborate with the city’s communications department to draft a flyer by the end of the week, with a contingency plan to create their own if necessary.

Further discussions included the use of Eventbrite for event registration, which would help track attendance and demographics. The commissioners proposed using color-coded tickets to identify different age groups of attendees, enhancing the organization of the events.

The meeting concluded with suggestions for public service announcements (PSAs) and potential collaborations with local media to broaden their reach. The commissioners expressed enthusiasm for the initiatives, highlighting the potential positive impact on the women in North Miami. They committed to working closely with staff to ensure the success of the upcoming events, aiming to foster community engagement and support for women in the area.
