I am writing to share details with you on the Appointments Project, an initiative that the Mayor launched last week to boost gender diversity on our City Boards, Authorities, and Commissions (BACs) and build on our progress of having 61% of our BAC seats being held by women. Led by UnitedWE, the Appointments Project will host 2 information sessions and help us build a pipeline of talented and gender-diverse individuals who are willing to serve the City on BACs. 

The information sessions will be held virtually via Zoom on Monday, December 7th at 12 noon and Monday, January 13th at 12 noon. Registration links, an application portal to be considered for BAC appointments, and details on the initiative can be found here: https://pittsburghpa.gov/mayor/appointments-project. 

We are kindly asking that you share this offering with anyone in your networks who might benefit from the information sessions. Thanks in advance for your help. If you have any questions, please respond to this email! 

Thanks very much, 

Leah Friedman
