Commerce City leaders mark Women’s History Month, highlight workforce figures
Commerce City officials used part of the meeting to recognize Women’s History Month in March and International Women’s Day on March 8, thanking women city staff for their contributions and citing workforce statistics.

Acting Deputy City Manager Cheryl Karstens told the meeting that women make up 46% of Commerce City’s workforce and that 32 women hold managerial or leadership positions. Karstens said the progress reflects the city’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace while noting there is more work to do toward gender equality. "This progress reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace, but there's still more to do," Karstens said.

Mayor Pro Tem Susan Noble, the representative for Ward 4, offered greetings on behalf of Councilmembers Christy Douglas and Renee Chacon and expressed appreciation for the city’s women staff. "We are so grateful to the women on the staff of Commerce City. We appreciate you so much," Noble said.

Remarks were ceremonial and focused on celebration and continued efforts toward inclusion rather than on policy actions or votes.
