The Okaloosa County Commission on the Status of Women is accepting membership applications through Sept. 15.
In addition to representatives from women’s organizations, each Board of County Commissioners member appoints two individual members to represent his or her district on the OCCSW.
Three appointed positions — in Districts 2, District 4 At Large and District 5 — will be vacated at the end of this calendar year.
Okaloosa residents interested in serving on the OCCSW for a three-year term can visit http://www.occsw.org/aboutusjoin.htm to learn more and complete an application.

Applications are due Sept. 15.
The OCCSW — which the Board of County Commissioners established in 1995 — works to eliminate barriers to achievement for women, and it recognizes women who have made significant contributions toward improving the status of women and other Okaloosa residents.
