The California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls was proud to be represented last night by Interim Executive Director Darcy Totten who was honored to serve as the keynote speaker for the 2024 American Legion Auxiliary California Girls’ State opening ceremony on Tuesday, June 25, at 7:15 pm at California State University-Sacramento. The ALA California Girls State is an incredible annual weeklong program sponsored by the ALA, Department of California, in which high school girls come together for one week to learn about civic engagement and government administration by registering to vote, creating and passing legislation, and setting up their own mock city, county, and state governments. The delegates who attend Girls State are from diverse backgrounds' across our state and among the top one percent of their classes, selected based upon their academic achievement, school activities, and community service. We are so proud to support these more than 400 future leaders of our state and we hope that they continue to receive support and encouragement in their efforts from our incredible Capitol community!
